Censorship
Covid-19
Instagram has removed a number of prominent accounts that had something to say against lockdowns and Covid-19 related measures.[5]
Private likes
In 2019 Instagram began removing public likes, which "is also removing people’s ability to see which posts are truly popular and unpopular. This makes it easier for Instagram to promote content it approves of and censor content it doesn’t want people to see."[6]
