I say this knowing full well the action would likely feed his narrative and bears little to no impact, but it is the only policy consistent with the application of presidential exemptions applied to date. (11/11)

Last 36 hours for $FB & $TWTR an object lesson in why tech cos can be slow to act: Wall Street doesn't reward doing the right thing. It punishes it. The tension between user welfare (and now regulator expectation) and fiduciary duty to shareholders creates quite the shackles.

Sadly very true. I disagree with @DLoesch on A LOT (though agree on some things more than either of our bubbles would likely guess). But attack her and anyone else left or right on merits and facts not on gender or appearance.

So yes, the President remains an exceptional case. Just as the President was uniquely EXEMPT from policies potentially violated in cases like the N. Korea Tweets and others, his actions yesterday were uniquely flagrant violations SPECIFICALLY because he is the President. (9/11)

The “newsworthiness” exemption often held true. If the President was a madman or a fraud, or both, let the spotlight shine on it for the populace to see. Don’t have a private company shield the public gaze from the meltdown and pretend the emperor has clothes. (2/11)

The President is also, more than ANY OTHER PERSON, directed by the Constitution to remain arms-length from the Congress. The separation of the Executive from meddling in the business of the Legislative can be considered the core focus of the founding document itself. (8/11)

But threats by the President to another power are a statement of foreign policy. Indeed, the POTUS is the ONLY one empowered by the law to make such threats. As such, the POTUS is the ONLY one that should be exempt from the Twitter Rules here as well. That remains true. (6/11)
