Muslim Ban 2.0 Blocked: Here is the Top Social Content On the Win
A federal judge in Hawaii has blocked the Trump administration’s Muslim Ban 2.0. Here were some of the top-performing social media posts celebrating the win.
What can we learn from the posts?
- Most important, they are all timely, sharing news about the order as information
- They clearly frame the judicial order as a win – and they own the win.
- They draw attention to highlights of the ruling, not just pointing people to a PDF of it.
- Some provide real-time reactions from the people involved in the legal fight (like the second ACLU Facebook post).
- They point to other Twitter users sharing important insights (like the NYCLU tweet, first Just Security tweet, and second ACLU tweet).
- They indicate that the fight isn’t over. I love the Just Security tweet telling people not to go to bed yet.
- And, of course, most of them have visual elements, especially on Facebook. This optimizes content for Facebook’s algorithm and helps capture users’ attention on their News Feeds.
