As reported by CNET, since Friday, June 6, a number of Twitter users posted a Trump account that appeared in the top search for the 'People' column when writing the word 'racist'. VOI tried it and the result, the top account name based on that word is Trump.

A Twitter spokesman said the search recommendation could have occurred because the algorithm on the platform summarizes the keywords mentioned by the netizen and is aimed at the account. The result is that social media with the blue bird logo raises account names that match the entered keywords.
