Summary:
By the time Melania moved into the White House, five months after her husband took office, cyberbullying seemed to have fallen off her agenda. Politico reported in June that the topic had been “cast aside,” and the first lady rarely spoke in public anyway. But in the past month, the initiative has certainly seemed to be back on the table. At a luncheon for governors’ spouses in February, Melania Trump extolled the importance of “encouraging positive habits on social media and technology.” And last week, she convened her first public meeting on the topic, a gathering at the White House with executives from tech companies including Amazon, Facebook, Google, Snapchat, and Twitter. “I’m well aware that people are skeptical of me discussing this topic,” she said in her introductory remarks. “But it will not stop me from doing what I know is right.”
