In response to reports that left-leaning hashtags like #Democrats were being blocked on Instagram, Meta issued statements that the "error" affected hashtags "across the political spectrum" and the "issue" applied to "not just those on the left."
Except _the vast majority_ were on the left.

(Yes, #savedemocracy.)
That's not an exhaustive list, just the ones the three of us verified. Others reportedly included #fucktrump (but not #fuckbiden), #johnoliver and #insurrection.
What's damning imo is that the conservative counterpart hashtags were not hidden.

I tested and was honestly surprised that anti-LGBTQ hashtags had not been hidden. Wait till Stephen Miller hears about that >:(
Joel Kaplan just took charge. He's a longtime GOP op and had a high level position in GW Bush's administration. He's a close friend of Kavanaugh (also a GOP op).
They are all on "the team" that is working together to dismantle our democracy.
Get off all Meta platforms ASAP
