Facebook and Instagram users have recently noticed their accounts have started following President Donald Trump, his wife Melania and Vice President JD Vance without their prior knowledge.
Gracie Abrams and Demi Lovato are among the famous names who have posted complaints Meta won’t let them unfollow these accounts, with Abrams eventually being forced to block them altogether.
Others have also noticed the hashtag #Democrat was blocked on Instagram this week.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is among the tech billionaires who have openly voiced support for Trump but here’s what is really going on… why are so many people suddenly following these accounts? One reason may be quite simple:
“A lot of people on Facebook were obviously following the Facebook accounts of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and others – they’ve been handed over to the new administration, and it looks as though people are suddenly following the President and the posts from the new administration, but it’s a change of people.”
