On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed a case that claimed former President Donald Trump blocking people on social media website Twitter violated the First Amendment.

The New York Post reported that the Supreme Court tossed a decision from the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York finding Trump blocking his critics on Twitter violated their First Amendment rights. The Supreme Court dismissed the case because Trump has been permanently banned from Twitter, rendering the case moot.
