Classification of natural species is pretty confusing and sometimes arbitrary. The rules originally used have in some cases been shown to overlap and refute themselves. Also, the term pond scum, can be ambiguous. Sometimes cyanobacteria are called pond scum. They belong to the Kingdom Monera. Other times you may have different types of algae called pond scum, those are indeed classified as protists. So I would say that some kinds of pond scum are protists, and some are bacteria.

There are many different one celled green organisms, but one of the most important to us is the blue-green algae, better known as cyanobacteria. These creatures are responsible for most of the free oxygen in our atmosphere.

Pond scum consists of algae. Algae is an autotroph, meaning they do not need to eat. Instead, they produce food internally from carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight using photosynthesis.Pond scum is a algae, a plant. It needs sunlight. If you want to not have pond scum, you need to aerate the water. Avoid plant fertilizers as they will just make the pond scum grow faster.
Pond scum is green algae of the phylum chlorophyta of the protista kingdom.
No. Seaweed is actually good for a pond, but pond scum (most of the time) isn't
with its face
Pond scum is composed of algae; it does not eat, it grows by means of photosynthesis.

Yes, a pond pump would be a great way to keep the scum down. The pump basically works similarly to a pool filter, and will clear away dust, debris, and garbage.
