Why some Instagram users aren’t able to unfollow Trump and JD Vance

02-02-2025 10:03 AM


Ammon News - Social media users, including celebrities such as singers Demi Lovato and Gracie Abrams, are posting complaints that Meta won’t let them unfollow President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and first lady Melania Trump on Instagram.

On her Instagram story, Abrams said she had to unfollow the @vp and @potus accounts three separate times because Meta kept automatically refollowing the accounts.

Other social media users are posting heads ups to unfollow the accounts if they don’t support the Trump administration.

But Meta denied that it forced users to follow Trump and Vance’s accounts. The accounts for the president, vice president and first lady change with every administration, the company said.

“People were not made to automatically follow any of the official Facebook or Instagram accounts for the President, Vice President or First Lady,” Stone said in a post on X on Wednesday. “This is the same procedure we followed during the last presidential transition.”

In 2020, Meta told Reuters that it was planning to transition the Facebook and Instagram accounts to the Biden administration, just as it had done between the Obama and Trump administrations in 2017. CNN
