[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Jae-hee] Accounts making 'election fraud' claims through social network services (SNS) in Donald Trump's U.S. presidential camp are being blocked in large numbers.

According to the Washington Post (WP) on the 9th, seven accounts linked to former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon were blocked on Facebook from the 6th to this day.

These accounts have been spreading unproven claims that this election is a fraud and manipulated, under names such as 'Conservative Values,' 'Iron Men,' and 'Trump is at War.'

The total number of subscribers to these accounts reaches 2.45 million.

Bannon's own account is currently not blocked but is partially controlled with content restrictions.

Earlier, Twitter permanently banned Bannon's podcast account on the 5th. At that time, he posted a video on Twitter and YouTube stating that Anthony Fauci, director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, should have his head displayed at the White House, causing controversy.

Bannon, founder of the far-right U.S. media outlet 'Breitbart,' led Trump's 2016 election campaign but is currently estranged from President Trump.

He was arrested in August on charges of embezzling a large sum from border wall construction funds on a fundraising site but was released on bail.
