Twitter changes presidential accounts for Biden

Twitter will switch the @POTUS account to the President-elect when sworn as, said the company to Politico. The social network will transfer the account to Biden, even if the current President Trump did not give up his position, despite the fact that Biden took the electoral mandate.

"The Twitter is actively preparing to support the transition of the White House institutional accounts to January 20, 2021,” saidς του Twitter στο The Verge. “Όπως κάναμε και για την προεδρική μετάβαση το 2017, αυτή η διαδικασία γίνεται σε στενή διαβούλευση με την Εθνική Αρχή Διαχείρισης Αρχείων” (National Archives and Records Administration).

Other presidents , including @whitehouse, @VP and @FLOTUS, will also change, according to Politico. Existing content from all accounts will be archived prior to transfer (here is @POTUS's archive for Barack Obama) and the new accounts will not display any tweets.

Donald Trump will continue to control his personal account, @realDonaldTrump, when Biden takes over, but the account will lose the special protections he currently has. This means that the account will be subject to the same regulations as the majority of users on the platform.

On Saturday, Facebook told Reuters that it would also change the official POTUS account on its platform for the incoming President.

"In 2017, we worked with both the Obama administration and the new Trump administration to make sure that changing their Facebook and Instagram accounts would be seamless on January 20th. We expect to do the same ", said The company.
