Snap <\/a> announced this morning that it will not be promoting content from President Trump\u2019s Snapchat account in its Discover tab following statements from Trump last week on Twitter, which threatened that protestors could be met with \u201cvicious dogs\u201d and \u201cominous weapons.\u201d<\/p>\n

The move is notable for many reasons, but is particularly interesting because social media platforms have tended to only discipline popular accounts when they\u2019ve violated the rules on their own platform. Snapchat users will still be able to access content from Trump\u2019s feed if they subscribe to it or search specifically for the account. At this point Snap is simply limiting his account to organic reach and stripping him from their curated feed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will not amplify voices who incite racial violence and injustice by giving them free promotion on Discover,\u201d a Snapchat spokesperson said in a statement.<\/p>\n

In response to the move, Trump\u2019s campaign accused<\/a> Snapchat of \u201cactively engaging in voter suppression.\u201d<\/p>\n

Snapchat\u2019s personalized Discover feed sources content from news publishers and accounts on the service but often skews more toward entertainment news compared to competing products like Twitter\u2019s curated Moments threads, which focuses heavily on breaking news.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, Snap CEO Evan Spiegel shared a letter regarding the recent protests, noting that he was \u201cheartbroken and enraged by the treatment of black people and people of color in America.\u201d In the letter posted to Snap\u2019s site<\/a>, Spiegel also called for the establishment of a \u201cdiverse, non-partisan Commission on Truth, Reconciliation, and Reparations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Snap\u2019s decision here comes after Twitter hid one of Trump\u2019s tweets regarding the Minneapolis protests on the basis of it violating Twitter rules for \u201cglorifying violence.\u201d Twitter had previously added fact checks to two of Trump\u2019s tweets related to mail-in voting. Facebook came under fire internally this week after CEO Mark Zuckerberg declined to remove the same content that Twitter had on the basis of newsworthiness, a move that prompted some employees to stage a remote walk-out and pushed company leadership, including Zuckerberg, to host a company meeting on the topic.<\/p>\n
