Instagram hides search results for 'Democrats'

Some social media users have accused the company of political bias, pointing out the issue has been occurring after President Donald Trump's inauguration on Monday, which was attended by Meta owner Mark Zuckerberg.
While users who type "#Democrat" or "#Democrats" see no results, the hashtag "Republican" returns 3.3 million posts on the social media platform.

By manually searching Instagram for "Democrats", rather than clicking on a hashtag, users are greeted by a screen reading "we've hidden these results".

"Results for the term you searched for may contain sensitive content," it says.

:laff:

So you care when Dems get censored (not you OP, but in general), but when Republicans and Conservatives were getting that Alex Jones treatment, knocked off multiple sites folks said it was the right of the private Social Media company to do as they please (yall remember that right? :youngsabo: ) .

Or in 2020/2021 when folks were explaining their POVs on Covid and Covid19 folks said it was disinformation and needed to be removed if private companies said so (yall remember that right? :youngsabo: ) ...

But suddenly .... :laff: ..... the word "Democrat" can't be found and folks are screaming "censorship!!".......:damn: ....... but Instagram is private breh, remember:mjlol:

Now you see how it feels. Don't feel good does it?

Now you understand why I say all the time you don't censors speech (unless illegal) because one day you could be censorsed for your speech.

Hilarious.
