So has Twitter now blocked government communication?

Howdy,

The President is a government official. Government officials may not
obstruct access to public government communication.

Twitter is a private enterprise. Outside of things like the emergency
broadcast system or a consensual contract, no private enterprise is
compelled to publish or circulate any government communication.
