Political speech deleted by Instagram, claimed it is "spam": A comment by Instagram user @k9cwby was removed because it reportedly violated the platform's "Community Guidelines on spam." The comment stated, "Brainwashed sheep will follow the leader off a cliff and will not tell the leader it's going in the wrong direction, they just follow. And that is your #democrats today @kamalaharris #media." According to a screenshot shared by the user on his X account, Instagram claimed he was using the comment to "...get likes, follows, shares or video views in a misleading way," later suggesting if there is another "violation" there can and will be more restrictions put on the account.
