This is such a dumb thing to say, you could also say that all news papers etc. Are private companies.

But if they’re collectively controlled by a few people or the government, and only publish certain things. That is 100% censorship

They’ve since fixed it, and called it a bug.

A bug that only effects democratic content…

It’s no longer censored as obviously.

Once it made news they back pedaled

Nope you could search that just fine.

Fair, it’s easier to ditch some than others.

Explaining to my work why I don’t use WhatsApp is tricky.

Sadly it’s true.

I’d love to move away from it, but my work and literally everyone I know is on there

It sounds like it only affected Instagram

They reversed it when it started making the front page of reddit etc.

It works again for me now, they’ll just shadow ban it now.

There are many articles about this, it’s also on the front page of reddit with hundreds of people confirming it

Must be China Trump and his Oligarchs can’t do anything wrong they’re protecting our freedom /s

They will now shadow ban these topics, so people can catch them red handed. But users will just never see it in their feed

There are articles about it

Instagram back pedaled, I can also search it now.

There are many news articles about it, most if not everyone was experiencing it.

fuckputin is still blocked for me

This is my instagram, I deleted facebook

Some have started working for me again, #democrat works again, but not #prochoice #kamala or #fuckputin

#proChoice and #kamala are also censored
