Meta says it is working quickly to resolve the problem, which has prompted accusations of bias on social media.

Summary

Meta’s Instagram faced criticism after searches for “Democrat” or “Democrats” displayed a “results hidden” message, while “Republican” returned 3.3 million posts.

The issue emerged after Donald Trump’s inauguration, which Meta owner Mark Zuckerberg attended.

Meta attributed the problem to a technical error affecting political hashtags and promised a quick fix.

Critics, however, flagged concerns over perceived political bias, especially as Meta has recently shifted content moderation policies and aligned closer to the Republican administration, including donations to Trump and appointing a Republican as global affairs chief.

    Ok, so there is no law that mandates that WhatsApp and Signal must be mutually interoperable.

    jagged_circle claimed there was a law that said ‘all apps must be interoperable’, i asked for a source, you, said ‘here it is!’, and then provided… not that.

    Thanks for wasting my time and being wrong!
