Strangely, this is also the case in Australia.

Your Republican Party is left progressive yes? So they probably didn’t account for geo location when they started banning search terms.

Yes, I confirmed. I live in Germany and hashtags like democrat or berniesanders are blocked and hashtags like Republican and donaldjtrump are not blocked.
I was only on Instagram for my friends to exchange reels and post life updates like once a year but this crosses another line. Migrating from all these monopolies is such a tax on my time but this is a small way to hurt these big giants.
I recommend everyone do the same when they have the time. I’d like to learn about RSS feeds and go back to a bunch of individual blogs for friends and family. Decentralized power is I guess the most important characteristic to look for these days. Fuck, this correction period is going to suck.

Just tested in in the EU with a friend’s Instagram account. It’s real.

You can google it, it’s like that for many people.
I can search #domocrat again, but not #fuckputin or #prochoice etc.
You can also test for yourself, this screenshot was from my instagram search
