He is using it to conduct business as president and therefore it is no longer just his personal account.

using it to conduct business as president

Do you have an example?

no longer just his personal account.

By definition it is his personal account. If he is using it in the scope of his work, then that is the mistake.
Him being able to block people from his personal account is his right, no matter what his job.

From the linked article:

"uses the account to take actions that can be taken only by the President as President,” the judge said.

I agree that using his personal twitter account for governmental business was a bad idea, mostly because he now has to accept the limitations imposed on governments regarding transparency.

I get your point, but I'm still holding to the idea that the only issue to be dealt with is Trump doing business after-hours.
I don't support any removals of privacy or freedom from anyone's personal time.
