據路透社當地時間21日報導,推特和臉書公司日前宣布,美國總統的官方推特及臉書帳號「@POTUS」將在明年1月20日總統就職日當天轉交給拜登——無論現任總統川普是否承認敗選。
屆時,白宮、副總統以及第一夫人的官方帳號也將按此規則進行轉移。
Twitter Inc. and Facebook Inc. will transfer control of the @POTUS account to the Joe Biden administration on January 20, the social media companies said on Saturday, even if President Donald Trump doesn't concede.
The social media giants will also hand over other institutional handles - for the White House, vice president and first lady of the United States - on inauguration day.
推特公司向路透社證實——
「推特目前正在積極籌備中,以確保2021年1月20日白宮相關推特帳號的交接工作能順利進行。」
"Twitter is actively preparing to support the transition of White House institutional Twitter accounts on January 20, 2021. As we did for the presidential transition in 2017, this process is being done in close consultation with the National Archives and Records," the company said in a statement on Saturday.
臉書也向路透社表示——
「2017年,我們與歐巴馬政府和即將上任的川普政府合作,確保他們的臉書和Instagram帳號在1月20日無縫過渡,明年我們也將會這麼做。」
"In 2017, we worked with both the Obama Administration and incoming Trump Administration to make sure the transition of their Facebook and Instagram accounts was seamless on January 20, and we expect to do the same here," Facebook said in response to a query from Reuters.
據了解,推特與臉書平臺上的「@POTUS」帳號是美國總統官方認證帳號,不同於美國現任總統川普經常使用的「@realDonaldTrump」推特帳號和「@DonaldTrump」臉書帳號。
明年1月20日,「@POTUS」帳號轉移給拜登後,川普可以繼續使用他的個人推特及臉書帳號,但他將失去此前在平臺上享有的特殊豁免權。這意味著,如果川普的推文違反相關規定,其個人帳號可能面臨被封禁的風險。
The @POTUS account on both platforms is the official account of the President of the United States. It is separate from the @realDonaldTrump Twitter account and the @DonaldTrump Facebook page that U.S. President Donald Trump mostly uses to write his posts.
Trump will continue to control his personal account, but the account will lose the special protections it gets due to Trump's status as a world leader. This means, if Trump's tweet content violates certain rules of the company, he can lose the account.
此前,美國政治新聞網站Politico援引推特公司的話稱,官方帳號的交接過程無需離任的川普和上任的拜登團隊共享任何信息。這些帳戶上現有的所有推文都將被存檔,隨後被清零,再轉移給拜登團隊。
2017年1月20日,美國第44任總統歐巴馬將推特帳號「@POTUS」移交給了川普,所有之前的推文內容都被清空——這些推文都被轉移至另一個新帳號「@POTUS44」上存檔。
Politico reported earlier that the handover of the @POTUS Twitter handle requires no sharing of information between the outgoing Trump team and incoming Biden team, and other presidential accounts, including @whitehouse, @VP, and @FLOTUS, will be moved over as well.
推特方面表示,他們將很快與拜登和哈裡斯的過渡團隊會面,討論下一屆美國政府官員使用推特的具體細節。
It also reported that Twitter will meet transition officials for Biden and the projected vice president, Kamala Harris, in the coming months to discuss the particulars of how the new administration will use Twitter.
根據多家美國媒體公布的計票結果,在美國2020總統選舉中,美國民主黨總統候選人、前副總統拜登最終贏得了306張選舉人票,美國總統川普贏得了232張選舉人票。不過,截至目前,川普仍未承認敗選。
Biden, who has reached the two-week mark since becoming president-elect, is preparing to take office on January 20, but Trump has refused to concede and is seeking to invalidate or overturn the results through lawsuits and recounts in several states, claiming - without proof - widespread voter fraud.
