Following the recent inauguration, many Instagram and Facebook users expressed outrage over what they perceived as Meta 'forcing' them to follow the accounts of Donald Trump, JD Vance, and Melania Trump. Claims arose after users noticed they were reportedly following official accounts without consent. Despite these allegations of political interference, Meta argues that the issue resulted from standard procedures and not bias. Users found search results for 'Democrat' suppressed, while 'Republican' results flourished, further fueling claims of bias against Democratic figures.
Across social media, users have complained that Meta is 'forcing' them to follow the new US President. On X (formerly Twitter), one furious commenter wrote: 'Really Meta y'all forcing people to follow Trump and JD Vance in Instagram??'
