Washington: Thousands of people were forced to follow US President Donald Trump on Twitter after a technical glitch, prompting the social networking site to apologise to users.
The new President was handed control of the @POTUS account when he took the oath of office. Some users parted ways with @POTUS on the social network once it changed hands from former President Barack Obama to Trump. However, for reasons unexplained, they automatically re-followed the presidential account without their permission. Users who noticed the glitch brought it to the attention of Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.
In a series of tweets, Dorsey said users who followed Obama&rsquo;s new handle - @POTUS44 - after noon on Friday were automatically set to follow the Trump-run @POTUS handle. In addition, &ldquo;Some people who unfollowed @POTUS in the past were mistakenly marked to follow @POTUS,&rdquo; he said. Dorsey said the issue has been corrected.
