>What it does do is prevent the user from easily engaging with the president

They can’t just make another account with which to tell Trump “you suck”? Ah but how will everyone else know _I_ tweeted something at Trump if _my_ handle isn’t attached to it? That’s what these people are mad about. Not that they can’t reply to Trump (they can), but that other people won’t know about that sick burn they once made that was drowned out by 30000 others.

Does Twitter permit multiple accounts for a single legal person in their terms of service? Do they permit creating additional accounts for the purpose of communicating with someone who blocked you on your other account?

Petitioning the government, regardless of how effective a petition it is, shouldn't require violating a contract.
