Facebook is forcing accounts to follow Donald Trump - users have been reporting.

Their latest move reeks of desperation—forcing users to follow Trump is a blatant violation of user autonomy. Zuckerberg’s pandering to political power undermines the very essence of free choice on social media.

The moral of the story is get off all Meta platforms.

cruzgrl.bsky.social•58 days ago

How can they force you? I haven't gotten anything yet.

Cancel FB. Don't give Hitler's blow-job man, any business.

The only way we can defeat them is by not buying from them anymore. Don't give them your money, and don't let them earn it through clicks.

daddysgirl62.bsky.social•58 days ago

This is what should happen but it won't! People are too lazy and selfish.

caramia13.bsky.social•58 days ago

And it's so simple! We need to punish these billionaires, not give them more money.

daddysgirl62.bsky.social•58 days ago

Your exactly right! Time to remind those with an abundance that they got that way, from people who do not! Let's face it we are their bread and butter, not really the rich, powerful & oligarchs!

schwammy18.bsky.social•58 days ago

Yup, just checked and I was following him. WTF

butterflynetz.bsky.social•58 days ago

So gross. I reported it 15 different ways. I might get banned, but I was already leaning towards deleting it.

geoff61.bsky.social•58 days ago

Another reason to dump meta

mcdawnmarie.bsky.social•58 days ago

I just blocked it.

cecelovescider.bsky.social•58 days ago

I saw it and immediately went unfollow.

haymeliss.bsky.social•58 days ago

I literally just saw this !! Authoritarian Regime begins- control of media ✅

peghetlage.bsky.social•58 days ago

I blocked his account

1rmctldy.bsky.social•58 days ago

Wait till u find out you can’t tune him out of your radio or tv.

kblake-atx.bsky.social•58 days ago

Yup, happened to me. I blocked him. Let’s see if it sticks…

jessdoinglife.bsky.social•58 days ago

This happened to me! Unfollowed and blocked.

bren24704.bsky.social•58 days ago

Me too! Wow

kristinemarie67.bsky.social•58 days ago

Cancelled today after 18 years. Fuck Zuck

bocksam.bsky.social•58 days ago

Tomorrow I will block it and Waterboy Vance. But today facebook and insta and threads are dead to me.

blutimus.bsky.social•58 days ago

I went in and blocked every account I could find related to the FOTUS. I even reported one of his user groups as terrorists! Hey what can I say, I find them terrifying! 😜

5miriam9.bsky.social•58 days ago

Yeah. I've had stuff from the Trump campaign appear on my wall, as well as lots of puff pieces about Elon Musk. I've blocked the source of each and every one but more pop up. That wasn't happening before on FB.

tpl17.bsky.social•58 days ago

It was worth it to me to check this out today...I blocked him.

magpieboston.bsky.social•58 days ago

I just did the same.

tpl17.bsky.social•58 days ago

I am curious of you checked both Donald J Trump and President Donald J Trump?

FB apparently did auto set President Donald J Trump to follow but I was able to unfollow and block him.

magpieboston.bsky.social•57 days ago

I had the same situation but blocked them both as well as a few others. I’ve now logged out and won’t be back on FB or IG for at least several more days.

thenewnucleus.bsky.social•58 days ago

I deleted TikTok at least a year ago and this is what happened to me yesterday…

bobkneebone.bsky.social•58 days ago

That’s just more proof that me deleting Facebook at noon today was a good, make that great, move

tinadonauthor.bsky.social•58 days ago

Why is anyone still on this shit site? 🙄

#AuditElmo #DefundElmo #DeportElmo #JailtheOrangePustule #SubprimeCourtReformNOW

magmar40.bsky.social•58 days ago

I logged out last night. Considering not logging back in. Deleted Instagram and Threads.

vlee123.bsky.social•58 days ago

I completely deleted my FB account- highly recommend doing that

carolsoprano.bsky.social•58 days ago

Yes - I just went onto Facebook for the first time today and I was bombarded with Trump and Melania Trump Facebook posts. Blocked them ASAP and am going to delete my account posthaste. That is absolute bullshit - what a goddamn shitshow that site has become.

espanolsrs.bsky.social•58 days ago

Happened to my account as well

joyfuljacqui.bsky.social•58 days ago

Yes! This happened to me today!

jessdoinglife.bsky.social•58 days ago

Me too. I un-installed FB, Insta and Messenger last night before bed. Saw this and logged into FB via Chrome (not the app), and I was somehow "following" also. 🤢🤮🤬

tonya316.bsky.social•58 days ago

Yes, that popped up on mine and appeared that I’m following but i immediately blocked it.

gr8scott62.bsky.social•58 days ago

I already blocked his ass

rammer1951.bsky.social•58 days ago

I deleted Facebook and X today at noon

fordlover07.bsky.social•58 days ago

Ditto

shufflebear.bsky.social•58 days ago

😡

bodhissatva89.bsky.social•58 days ago

Holy shit is this real????

carolsoprano.bsky.social•58 days ago

Yep. Saw multiple DJT and Melania Trump posts on my Facebook page, and it said I was following them. Fuck no I did not and will not. I blocked them immediately and am going to delete the damn account. Fuck Zuckerberg. That site is a hellhole right now.

msgrammy25.bsky.social•58 days ago

I deleted that shithole last week.

redheadnana.bsky.social•58 days ago

I searched him and I was following him! It’s changed now. Thank you!

uiowagirl.bsky.social•58 days ago

I think it might be because it's the official government page of the President. Same for the First Lady's page, probably the VP's as well. They've been transferred. Not to say there aren't other shenanigans happening, but this might not be as nefarious as it immediately appears.

darcymad.bsky.social•58 days ago

I’m on FB and have not seen that yet.

cstreetlights.bsky.social•58 days ago

Same with Melania. She showed up on my feed this afternoon.

kjsenger.bsky.social•58 days ago

This happened to me. His profile picture was the first thing that popped up on my feed when I opened the app, and I had to unfollow him when I never followed him in the first place.

carolsoprano.bsky.social•58 days ago

Yes, me too. Melania as well. And it was a couple of Trump Facebook pages. Ugh. Screw that - blocked them immediately.
