  Meta, in a statement, denied claims that they "forced" some users to follow social media accounts belonging to Donald Trump and JD Vance.


The article from Soap Central discusses the controversy surrounding Meta's alleged practice of automatically following certain political figures' accounts on Threads, a new social media platform. Following a request by Elon Musk to unfollow these accounts, netizens expressed their discontent, accusing Meta of political bias. Specifically, users found themselves automatically following former President Donald Trump and Senator J.D. Vance without their consent. Meta has denied these allegations, stating that the automatic following was a result of a bug in the system rather than an intentional act to promote specific political figures. The company emphasized that they are working to fix the issue, ensuring that user choices in following accounts are respected. This incident has sparked a broader conversation about platform neutrality and user autonomy on social media.
