From Germany: about half of these still work for me. But only half.

  Me too, I tried just a few. On pc #antifascist , #fascist and #democracy didn’t work. On a mobile phone from my colleague #democracy worked though.

Well fuck.

presidentbiden (but not president harris)

barackobama (but not presidentobama)

votebiden (votekamala, votetrump works tho)

presidentcarter

libertarian (for some reason)

These are some odd censorship choices. In America, libertarian is short for (not really anarcho) anarcho-capitalist and they tend to vote right wing. They’re the tea party essentially and trumps election is a culmination of the tea party’s power. I consider myself a left libertarian / anarcho-communist but we are not that common in America. Unfortunately.

And why censor Carter? He’s dead. And why biden but not Harris? So odd.

igcensorship

This one’s funny. I wonder if they’ll go recursive and add “igcensorshipcensorship” next.

What app are you searching for hashtags in? Is that facebook?

    This is what comes up in my instagram for the same search.
    
    Can you post the entire screenshot? How do we know you didn’t just photoshop that?

    Why would this work for me but not for you? Do you think you specifically are being targeted with results blocking? How do you account for this?

    I don’t see how the entire screenshot would be any harder to photoshop. But you can look through this thread and find multiple different people confirming it of their ends too.
