On Instagram and Facebook, the incoming White House will gain access to the White House username, URL, and retain the followers, but will start with no content on the timeline. This will also be the case for other Twitter handles, including and Individual official accounts, like will transition to NARA and continue to be accessible for the public to view as an archive of all tweets sent by White House staff. In addition, President Obama’s tweets will also be archived at NARA, where they will be preserved and accessible in the same manner as all other Presidential records. a newly created handle maintained by NARA, will contain all of President Obama’s tweets and will be accessible to the public on Twitter as an archive of President Obama’s use of the account. The account will retain its more than 11 million followers, but start with no tweets on the timeline. On Twitter, for example, the handle will be made available to the 45th President of the United States on January 20, 2017. Here is an overview of our plans for how this will work: Finally, we are working to ensure that the next president and administration – regardless of party – can continue to use and develop the digital assets we have created to connect directly with the people they serve. Second, wherever possible, we are working to ensure these materials continue to be accessible on the platforms where they were created, allowing for real time access to the content we’ve developed. From tweets to snaps, all of the material we’ve published online will be preserved with NARA just as previous administrations have done with records ranging from handwritten notes to faxes to emails. First, we are preserving the material we’ve created with the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). Accordingly, we have been working to ensure that our digital transition meets three key goals. There are some important principles we can work from. While much of the digital transition is unprecedented in the United States, the peaceful transition of power is not. The President has made clear that a smooth transition between administrations is one of his top priorities, and digital is a key component of that effort. So after all this – nearly eight years of digital firsts, more than 470,000 We the People petitions, nearly 30,000 tweets, and thousands of hours of video footage – what happens when the next administration takes office? The past eight years have left us with tremendous optimism about how future administrations might use these tools to create even more pathways for meaningful civic participation. This work began on President Obama’s 2008 campaign and, over the course of this Administration, has increasingly meant meeting people where they are online, using technology to re-imagine traditional formats, and creating unique opportunities for people to interact with their government. The archive belongs to the American people.įrom the very beginning, our mission has been to reach Americans and people around the world on the channels and platforms where they already spend their time. This digital infrastructure is an asset not just for the next president but for all future presidents to build off of. In 2015, President Obama sent his first tweet from In 2016, the White House debuted an official story on Snapchat for the State of the Union. In 2013, the First Lady posted her first photo to Instagram. In 2011, we launched We the People, a platform for citizens to petition the White House. In 2009, in addition to rolling out a revamped featuring a blog, RSS, and an email list, we joined Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Vimeo, iTunes, and even MySpace. Looking back over the past eight years, our digital footprint reflects some broader changes in the ways people consume news and information and engage with the world around them online. Over the past eight years, the President, Vice President, First Lady, and the White House have used social media and technology to engage with people around the country and the world on the most important issues of our time (while having some fun along the way). President Obama is the first “social media president”: the first to have on Twitter, the first to go live on Facebook from the Oval Office, the first to answer questions from citizens on YouTube, the first to use a filter on Snapchat.
