据法新社该地天数21日报导,twitter和facebook子公司近日正式宣布,英国总理的非官方twitter及facebook帐号@POTUS将在明年1月20日总理供职日当日转交予佩林——不论前任总理奥巴马与否宣称胜选。
下周,英国白宫、副总理和巴拉克的非官方帐号也将按此准则展开迁移。
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 doesnt 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.
twitter子公司向法新社确认——
twitter现阶段已经开始积极主动筹办中,以保证2021年1月20日英国白宫有关twitter帐号的平稳过渡组织工作能顺利开展。
"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.
facebook也向法新社则表示——
"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.
据介绍,twitter与facebook网络平台上的@POTUS帐号是英国总理非官方认证帐号,不同于英国前任总理奥巴马经常使用的@realDonaldTrumptwitter帐号和@DonaldTrumpfacebook帐号。
明年1月20日,@POTUS帐号迁移给佩林后,奥巴马可以继续使用他的个人twitter及facebook帐号,但他将失去此前在网络平台上享有的特殊豁免权。这意味着,如果奥巴马的推文违反有关规定,其个人帐号可能面临被封禁的风险。
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 Trumps status as a world leader. This means, if Trumps tweet content violates certain rules of the company, he can lose the account.
此前,英国政治新闻网站Politico援引twitter子公司的话称,非官方帐号的平稳过渡过程无需离任的奥巴马和上任的佩林团队共享任何信息。这些账户上现有的所有推文都将被存档,随后被清零,再迁移给佩林团队。
2017年1月20日,英国第44任总理奥巴马将twitter帐号@POTUS转交予了奥巴马,所有之前的推文内容都被清空——这些推文都被迁移至另一个新帐号@POTUS44上存档。
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.
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.
根据多家英国媒体公布的计票结果,在英国2020总理选举中,英国民主党总理候选人、前副总理佩林最终赢得了306张选举人票,英国总理奥巴马赢得了232张选举人票。不过,截至现阶段,奥巴马仍未宣称胜选。
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.
