This consternates me. Politicians are public servants, and their official public discourse falls under the category of public record. If a politician writes something on twitter, using the name associated with his/her political office, then it counts as public record. If they're so stupid not to know that the stuff they post to their official twitter accounts is public, then they're not qualified to be a public official. How can this be happening at the same time corporations are classified as people? Anyone care to play devil's advocate?
