  There are two user filters in the settings which default to the stricter hiding.

  Some of these might be under either of those filters and even with both set to show content some of these are hidden.

    Which is default? Strict?

    That’s what matters because it’s what 95% of people are using.

    Didn’t know that was an option (not a big IG user) but I checked and I have no filters so that makes sense.

    #democrats was DEFINITELY blocked for me an hour and a half ago

    This sounds like what they’d do…

    Put everything “good” under “sensitive content” so kids and people who don’t know better leave that stuff hidden because when blatant racism, bigotry, and fascism doesn’t fall under “sensitive content” people will assume that shit is really really and and keep it hidden.

    These asshats are gonna fuck around and get banned everywhere except America and then Americans will flock to other countries social media because normal people don’t want to hang out in a Nazi clubhouse

      They’re keeping this out of other countries (for now). Even fact checking is still enabled.

        There are filtered results outside of the US

  The fact that they were blocked (even temporarily) is bad enough, even if they unblocked them because people noticed too fast.

  I’m sure they’ll continue working on more subtle ways to suppress discussions and control narrative.

    I agree, I just don’t want any misinformation coming from our side
