Biden v. Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia Uni v.

This case asks whether a government official can block other users from a personal Twitter account after using that account to announce official actions and policies. The dispute grew out of former President Trump's use of his personal account to communicate government business while blocking critics.

The case has not been scheduled for oral argument. The key fight is whether using a personal account for some official announcements turns blocking critics into government action barred by the First Amendment.

The answer could shape how public officials use personal social media accounts for public business. For example, it could affect whether a governor, mayor, or school board member may block critics after posting official updates there.

The next milestone would be oral argument or another scheduling move from the Court. No decision window is available yet.

The case asks whether officials may block users from a personal Twitter account used partly for official announcements. It focuses on when that account becomes subject to First Amendment limits.

It could affect many officials who use personal accounts to share public business. Citizens, journalists, and advocacy groups could gain or lose access to those online discussions.

Watch for oral argument to be scheduled or for another Court order. The prompt gives no clear decision timeline yet.
