The US President Donald Trump is losing followers and so, met with Jack Dorsey, the Chief Executive of Twitter Inc on Tuesday. He spent a significant amount of time asking him about the reason for losing Twitter followers. Trump attacked Twitter last week and said it is biased, in a meeting held by White House last week. After the meeting held on Tuesday, Trump tweeted that the meeting held this afternoon with Jack from twitter at the Whitehouse was great. They discussed many important subjects about this social media platform and others as well. Trump also said that he looks forward to keeping an open dialogue. With this tweet, he posted the photo of Dorsey with others in the Office.
Dorsey replied in his tweet saying thank you for his time and added that Twitter is here to serve people and always tries to make the conversations more civil and healthier. Dorsey hadn’t met Trump before that. In this meeting, Dorsey explained the concern of Trump that he was losing his followers. He said that the company was working towards removing spam and fraudulent accounts, due to which many famous people are losing their followers, including Dorsey himself. Trump said that Twitter was biased against him but had no evidence about this. He also wrote on his Twitter wall that the company is discriminatory towards him and doesn’t treat him well.
Trump lost almost 204,000 followers out of his 53.4 million followers in July alone and he is upset about it. He got this data from a firm Keyhole. There were many suspicious accounts on the social media platform which were trying to influence voters in 2016. Such accounts used influential information, which may or may not be correct to run campaigns. Trump also wrote in October that Twitter removed many people from his account and done something due to which people aren’t able to rejoin. Trump’s Twitter account is one of the most followed accounts. So, the declining number of followers is a concern for him.
