The current president of the United States, Donald Trump is losing the support of large social platforms<\/strong> on the Internet; until now, Facebook<\/strong> e Instagram<\/strong>, Twitter<\/strong>, YouTube<\/strong> -from Google-, and Tik Tok<\/strong> -from ByteDance- have had to use media to stop the outrageous misinformation that the president and Republican supporters have spread online in the last week after Joe Biden became president-elect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Tuesday, the Chinese company Tik Tok <\/strong>had to maneuver legally before the U.S. Court of Appeals to avoid the veto driven by Donald Trump, who signed two decrees where \"for national security\" the company ByteDance - owner of Tik Tok - must dispose of its shares to U.S. capital. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is in addition to statements from Facebook's Product Manager, Rob Leathern<\/strong>when he issued a statement on Twitter where Facebook and Instagram maintain his stance that Joe Biden is the projected winner of the November 3 election. \"We are temporarily extending a series of measures we have put in place to protect the electoral process.\"<\/em>he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mark Zuckerberg-led company's primary revenue, as noted, is ads. Leathern announced that Facebook ad payments for post-election presidential campaigns are on pause, specifically the Facebook Ad Library platform, and notes that, so far. \"The technical capacity is not available in the short term for approval of political advertising by states or any particular individual.\"<\/em>which is a halt to Facebook's revenue in terms of advertisers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main reason, Leathern concluded, is for Facebook to commit \"to giving political advertisers equal access to tools and services.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The situation is becoming increasingly difficult for the current U.S. president, as Trump recently fired the former U.S. Secretary of Defense, Mark Esper<\/strong> by Christopher C. Miller<\/strong>The former director of the National Counter-Terrorism Centre:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Twitter's approach to world leaders, candidates and public officials is based on the principle that people have the power to choose to see what their leaders are saying in a clear context.\"<\/em>a Twitter spokesman told the media on November 7. After multiple tweets from Donald Trump, as a candidate for re-election in the United States, were \"moderated\" by the social network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means that, as soon as Donald Trump is forced to leave office as president of the United States, the Twitter account of the businessman will not have the same considerations since he would not be, after January 20, \"a world leader, a candidate or public official\" so Twitter could implement more robust measures against the disinformation propagated by the head of the US executive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, he clarified Twitter that: \"This policy scheme applies to current world leaders and candidates for public office and not to private citizens when they are no longer in office.\"<\/em>. Which may also mean a continuation of Trump's behavior towards Twitter users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not an easy situation for any of the social networks: Facebook and Instagram, and Twitter. Recently, it has been reported that many fake accounts were spreading false information about the election on the last day of voting, November 3, when Twitter and Facebook deleted groups of right-wing accounts that spread false information and exacerbated the confusion in the midst of U.S. proselytizing, as was the case on the last day of the election. the case of Steve Bannon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Bannon, Donald Trump's former campaign adviser in 2016, made unfortunate statements - which could qualify as hate speech and incitement to physical violence for the purpose of murder - by literally calling for the resignation of immunologist Anthony Stephen Fauci, in charge of investigations into the current COVID-19 pandemic, and for his head to be hung on a stake along with that of Christopher Wray, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His show had to be removed from YouTube. \"The video was removed for violating our policy against incitement to violence,\" YouTube spokesman Alex Joseph told Bloomberg news agency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Steve Bannon calls for Dr. Fauci and FBI Director Wray to be beheaded \"as a warning to federal bureaucrats\"@youtube<\/a> prohibits \"inciting others to commit violent acts against individuals\".
