根据多家美国媒体的预测结果，在美国2020总统选举中，美国民主党总统候选人、前副总统拜登在大选中胜出，但截至目前，特朗普依旧拒绝承认大选结果。

不过，推特和脸书这两家社交媒体公司都已证实，美国总统的官方账号@PUTUS将在拜登就职日当天中午宣誓时刻自动转交给拜登——无论现任总统特朗普是否承认败选。

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 Nov 21, even if US President Donald Trump doesn't concede.

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.

在近日的一份声明中，推特公司表示，“推特正积极准备在2021年1月20日支持白宫机构推特账号的过渡。正如我们在2017年权力交接时所做的那样，这个过程是在与美国国家档案和记录管理局密切协商后完成的。”

"Twitter is actively preparing to support the transition of White House institutional Twitter accounts on January 20th, 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 Nov 21.

据路透社报道，脸书公司也回应称，“2017年，我们与奥巴马政府和即将上任的特朗普政府合作，确保他们的脸书和Instagram账号在1月20日无缝过渡，明年我们也将会这么做。”

"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 20th, and we expect to do the same here," Facebook said in response to a query from Reuters.

而除了美国总统的官方账号之外，这两家社交媒体巨头还将在宣誓就职日当天移交白宫、美国副总统和第一夫人的账号。






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.

此前，据美国《政治报》网站报道，交接过程无需特朗普团队和拜登团队共享信息。推特公司会与拜登、哈里斯团队进行沟通，并在接下来的数月中讨论新政府如何使用推特的具体事宜。

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.

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.

美国总统@POTUS的官方账号有别于特朗普经常用于发推的个人账号@realDonaldTrump。

特朗普能够继续使用他的个人账号，不过该账号也将失去作为美国总统的一些特殊待遇。在这样的情况下，如果特朗普的推文违反规定，最终可能导致账号暂时冻结、禁言或永久封禁。（回顾请戳）

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.
