Instagram is blocking vaccinated related hashtags if they return wrong information on vaccinations. Lowering the spread of false information encouraging people to learn from trusted and well documented government sites and tests.

This honestly makes me feel conflicted because America is big on its freedom of speech even though Instagram is corporate entity that operates outside America too.
