Meta, the company which owns social media networks Facebook and Instagram, has denied forcing users to follow official accounts belonging to senior figures in the new Trump administration.
Some users of the platforms had complained following Donald Trump's inauguration on Monday that they had automatically been made to follow the new president, as well as Vice-President JD Vance and First Lady Melania Trump.
Meta spokesman Andy Stone explained that the accounts were managed by the White House, which had updated them to reflect the new position holders.
He wrote in a statement this is the same procedure Meta followed during the last presidential transition.
