Social Media Snapchat Joins Twitter On Trumps Comments, Facebook Keeping Post

Snapchat parent company Snap will stop promoting President Trump’s account on its Discover tab. Which made me wonder, What is the Discover tab? Well, it’s stories from publishers, creators and popular Snapchat accounts. The President’s account will remain. CEO, Evan Spiegel, wrote in a staff memo.

“We simply cannot promote accounts in America that are linked to people who incite racial violence, whether they do so on or off our platform. Our Discover content platform is a curated platform, where we decide what we promote. We have spoken time and again about working hard to make a positive impact, and we will walk the talk with the content we promote on Snapchat. We may continue to allow divisive people to maintain an account on Snapchat, as long as the content that is published on Snapchat is consistent with our community guidelines, but we will not promote that account or content in any way.”

Twitter flagged Trump because of the policy against glorifying violence. Meanwhile, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is standing by his decision to leave the president’s posts up.
