Facebook Says It’s Not Forcing You to Follow Trump

I mean, from what I understand (I don't use Meta) it force followed trumps account.

They are also facing backlash from the fact that searching Democrat was registered as a hidden action (meaning it hid all results) but searching republican yielded thousands.

They are also using the excuse that it might just be the official POTUS account, which would have been transferred to trump from biden.

The issue with these claims? Why would JD Vance and Musk suddenly be followed as well if this wasnt the case. My grandfather is STRONGLY Democrat, he's also the picture stereotype of Boomer when it comes to technology. There is ZERO reason JD Vance, Musk or Trump would have been followed on his feed alone, this morning he told me all three were "followed" and showing in his feed, so he blocked them.

They can sweep this under the rug all they want but, something was done on Meta's end, and it definitely resulted in those accounts being forced into every users feeds.

Just strongly suggesting through manipulating what you see
Probably admissable as evidence in a court of law lol.
