> when you're a "public servant", and you use your social media as a medium, are you entitled to privacy in the same way a standard citizen is?
Public figures have different standards of privacy. For example, the standard for what a news publication can report about you are different; thresholds for slander are higher.
What is a public figure? AFAIK, it's someone who voluntarily puts themself forward as one. For example, a movie star, someone who makes public speeches, etc. Running for President of the U.S. is volunteering to be the most public figure in the world, and arguably Trump seeks publicity beyond any other president.
