After seeing these posts, I decided to check my FB account. I only use it to keep track of local events, restaurant hours, school closings, etc. I have never posted anything. Amazingly, I was following our new First Lady, Melania Trump.
My sister just called me to tell me the same- but I already burned my account to the ground. She also said when she deleted it, it came back up a few hours later.
The official President’s page was transferred over to Trump so if you were rolling it under Biden, your Facebook account is following it under Trump. I unfollowed and blocked.
Facebook pages for public offices (like POTUS/VP) follow the institution, not the individual. When leadership changes, followers of official pages (e.g., Obama → Trump → Biden) stay connected to the office. The same happened in past transitions—you’re following the role, not the person.

Good question. He refused to put his hand on the Bible, and refused to put his hand over his heart for the flag draped coffin of Carter. I think gloves are off at this point. Elon is clearly on longer filtering.

So basically, they took President Joe Biden, made a copy of it, and called it Joe Biden Archive. Then they just changed the name on the account ‘President Joe Biden’ to ‘President Donald Trump.’
You have some twisted logic there. So I was following President Joe Biden, his page was copied and renamed to “archived” and they copied over the follows. The original President Joe Biden page was renamed to President Trump and they deleted all of the posts prior to yesterday but kept the follows.
When you follow the President’s Facebook page, you’re following the Office of the Presidency, not a specific person. When administrations change, the page transitions.
President Biden’s page is copied to create “President Biden Archive,” preserving posts.
The original page is renamed (e.g., “President Trump”), all content is deleted, and it’s updated for the new administration.
This process, started with Obama, ensures continuity of followers for the presidency.
Donald, JD, and Melania were all force followed. I'm getting all my photos transferred out and deleting my account. I'm not comfortable being forced to follow a rapist and felon who FB had previously banned themselves.
I did the same thing - still waiting for meta to download all my content and give me the notice -
It’s been days since I made that request and I have a feeling they are seeing an influx of those types of requests

I blocked both tRump and Melanoma! I feel so violated!
I’m off FB out of protest for raising the flags from half-mast—- as are many of my friends . I get back on in a little bit to check that.
