At least Trump still has Facebook
Snapchat, a multimedia-sharing and messaging app, instated a new policy on Wednesday officially distancing itself from’s incitement of “racial violence.” The social media company announced that the president’s account will no longer appear on its Discover timeline, a feature that promotes posts from notable accounts that a user doesn’t follow but may be interested in. Going forward, people who don’t subscribe to Trump's Snapchat won’t involuntarily see what he posts.
over the weekend, the 30-year-old CEO warned that “the American experiment is failing,” advocated for slavery reparations, and called for increased taxes on the rich.Trump’s campaign manager, has still condemned “Radical Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel.” “Snapchat is trying to rig the 2020 election, illegally using their corporate funding to promotein a statement responding to Snapchat’s removal of Trump from its Discover tab.
The Snapchat standoff represents Trumpworld’s most recent clash with social media companies. But the conflicts have been ongoing, particularly since the president came out vocally against police-brutality protesters. Last week Twitter addedto his threats against looting “THUGS” and added a fact-check label to his tweets claiming that mail-in ballots boost voter fraud. Neither step made the tweets inaccessible; rather, users simply had to click through the former post’s warning to read it.
Still, these moves mark unprecedented disciplinary action toward the site’s most important user, and have been a long time coming for those lobbying the company to step in as he has spread racism, conspiracy theories, and calls for violence. Trump hasin return: Demanding “FAIRNESS” from Twitter, the president signed an executive order last Thursday requiring social media sites to act in “good faith” when it comes to measures like hiding and fact-checking posts or banning its users.
