You are correct.

#5>“The @realDonaldTrump account is a kind of digital town hall in which the president and his aides use the tweet function to communicate news and information to the public, and members of the public use the reply function to respond to the president and his aides and exchange views with one another...”
Wait, have these people been looking at the same twitter account I've been? These people don't have a case at all. It's like filing a lawsuit because Trump hasn't made his personal cellphone number available to the the public.

True, but that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Blocked accounts cannot follow you. They cannot send direct messages to you. You will not be notified when they mention you. They will not see your tweets in search results. Importantly, they also cannot tag you in photos.

So they can make a new account and get all of those features back. This lawsuit is a giant waste of resources.
