    “Instagram blocked searches related to a number of political hashtags, including #democrats, #democrat, #jan6th, #republicans and a number of other terms Tuesday.”

    It’s not just democrat

        Amazing. /s

        The ban list seems a little bit incosistent, but is really obvious on where the bias goes. Not that Instagram were good ever.

          Interesting posts being served up:

          • “This isn’t a fight between republican and democrat. It’s between communism and freedom.”

          • A map showing Republicans as an overwhelming majority.

          • Photo about Democrats being more likely to call white people terrorists, while Republicans are more likely to call every other race terrorists.

          They’re not in the majority, but not subtle enough to avoid worming their way into peoples opinions.

      It was. Searching republican yielded results, searching democrat yielded a sensitive content warning and no results. They “fixed” it later.
