Instagram and all corporate media should be held accountable. NSFW

I see it daily in Montana. Never thought I'd see such blatant scum that are protected here.

Is that click through image real?!?

What the fucking what?

Yep. My account was locked today for speaking out on such a channel. The entire platform is Russian bots, facists promoting and child molesters.

I routinely go find white supremacists on Facebook and report the shit out of their accounts. The amount of times Facebook has been fine with pictures of Hitler or the N word is shocking.

"how could we tell if this white supremecy promotion or just another happy educational image? Context matters!" - Facebook moments before they never check context because they're "too big" and laughing all the way to the bank with your increased screen time and interaction on Facebook

Unfortunately if you play music in a band Instagram is kind of a necessary evil for spreading news about your band.

In my experience, Instagram has also become the most reliable source for local restaurants randomly being closed (this has happened more often than I would like to discuss post-pandemic) and breweries (i.e. which food truck is at which brewery on any given day).

I have found those to be the only reasons that I ever check Instagram.

Yeah, for anything local, Instagram and Facebook are still the way to go. I don't have a personal Instagram account, but when I check the band's account I really don't see anything questionable in there. I guess it just comes down to who you follow and who follows you. The worst thing I see is the occasional bot spam or bot account follow.
