I just logged into Facebook to catch up with friends and family, but I was taken aback to find that I had been automatically subscribed to follow President Donald Trump's official account. This unsolicited addition occurred during his inauguration, leaving me questioning the platform's motives and the broader implications for user autonomy and political neutrality.

Imagine the uproar from the MAGA community if, during President Joe Biden's inauguration, users had been automatically subscribed to follow his official accounts without explicit consent. The outcry would have been deafening, with accusations of tech bias and manipulation dominating headlines.

The automatic following of President Trump's account without user consent is more than a mere technical oversight; it's a reflection of the intricate and often opaque relationship between technology companies and political power.
