After Donald Trump's return to office, numerous Facebook and Instagram users reported some confusion and shock when they discovered they were now following Trump's official accounts. Meta stated this was part of standard procedures during a presidential transition, where users are automatically redirected to the new official accounts. However, complaints arose about users repeatedly being auto-followed even after trying to unfollow, sparking frustrations regarding the management of these social media accounts and suggesting a lack of user control in such transitions.
Many users report having unfollowed and blocked those accounts, only to find they are following them again.
Meta insists that the transitions to official White House accounts were automatic and typical for presidential transitions.
