SCOTUS: Officials CAN’T BLOCK Constituents On Social Media
Krystal and Saagar focus on SCOTUS ruling that authorities officers can not block their very own constituents on social media.

The worst examples I think are AOC and Pelosi
I'm surprised Saagar hasn't blocked porn bots. That's a block or mute or both function there.
When is Breaking Points going to cover the border?
Next up, block lobbying of politicians? That would be amazing
Nobody should be allowed to block anyone ever.
Does that include anonymous accounts and accounts for individuals outside of your territory?
This is meaningless; politicians don't reflect our will anyway. Who cares if they can block us online or not?
Remove the block feature for public officials
"I dont block them i just block them w/o them knowing by muting" ..krystal is such an airhed. Admitted shr doesnt believe in the spirit of free speech
The only time the public is required to be able to observe their elected officials is when there is a quorum, which constitutes a public meeting. Even at a public meeting, a public body is not required to allow public comment. And meetings are all done in person. Additionally, how is one supposed to verify the constituency & identity of a poster? People from different cities or even countries should not be allowed to address if they aren't a constituent. The internet now allows millions of people to harass a local elected official.
YT doesn’t care they are bought and paid for by the unelected DC Beltway cabal who run DC and elect our politicians excluding Trump.
Why is breaking point not talking about what happened in russia ?? 🤔
Poor Ms Wasserman Schultz
Those "officials" who want to block us are the ENEMIES OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
If these social media platforms are "privately owned" , they should be able to do anything they want. When these things are not publicly owned, government owned, a public utility, etc, the Constitution does not apply. That's why I always been for internet as a public utility, and these platforms, but of course, we don't have that in America, because we are in a semi-state of corporate ownership/communism. The disgusting thing, is all our leadership from the courts on down speak out both sides of their mouths 🟪
Nothing like saving Thursdays news for the weekend since they lack much help from other contributors. At least it’s not breaking news.
Is Krystal stoned?
5:28 Saagar asks how the citizen during a lockdown could make his voice heard: at that time many local governments went to great lengths to extend technological methods not usually utilized during previous govt meetings to extend public comment opportunities to their constituents.These included increased written email public comment submissions, phone call-ins, Zoom/virtual meeting methods, relocating meetings to larger venues with increased ventilation and social distancing options.
"Impactful" is a non word.
Also, bullets impact. Rulings don't.
Journalists co-opting social media companies to force the “town square” narrative is very troubling. Now every tech company is defacto under “imminent domain” if their product is too divergent from the mainstream. Twitter doesn’t belong to the people. Otherwise I need a check.
Finally a court has recognized our Constitutional rights and taken action. Enough of these social media platforms acting with the government and denying free speech. The public has the right to hear all opinions regardless of their own opinions. The only way to know who is truly a threat is to hear exactly what they really believe. It’s our God given rights and not what the government gives us.
A public servant has waived their civil rights while on duty. A elected official is a full time salary 24/7 job
Its just about keeping people quiet the pathetic CBC in Canada tirns off all comments most of the news channels in Canada do that they cant take the heat
I am going to draw your attention to something else – the Moscow theatre massacre. They are not ISIS nor are they Ukrainian. These are Israeli mercenaries and this was a Mossad false flag operation.
Nothing on the terrorist attack in Moscow? It's been two days already.
Can't find a fascist friendly spin to put on it?
I’d love to see Krystal’s mute list. Im sure there’s a lot of people on the right who had the smallest disagreement with her or called her out for some BS she said
Hahaha
