Thomas concurs, emphasizes difficulty of “applying old doctrines to new digital platforms.” He says, “it seems rather odd to say that something is a gov forum when a private company has unrestricted authority to do away with it” referring to @Twitter removing Trump’s account.

Justice Thomas: "The disparity between Twitter’s control and Mr. Trump’s control is stark … Mr. Trump blocked several people from interacting with his messages. Twitter barred Mr. Trump not only from interacting with a few users, but removed him from the entire platform."
