However, some other accounts related to Reuters such as Reuters Tech News, Reuters Fact Czech, Reuters Pictures, Reuters Asia and Reuters China are still active.
According to the policy of X, an account is banned in a region when the company (x) gets a legal order regarding it.
The White House also banned 3 months ago
The Trump administration in the US decided to exclude the Reuters from the White House Press Pool in April. Along with this, Bloomberg and Associated Press (AP) News were also banned.
The press pool is a small group, which consists of about 10 media institutions. It consists of some journalists and photographers. These people cover every small and big activity of the President and inform the rest of the journalists.
After this, a spokesperson of Reuters had said that our news reaches billions of people every day. This step of the government threatens the rights of the public, in which it should get independent and accurate information.
There is always a group of journalists outside the White House or outside the White House to cover the President’s activities.
