There was a strange situation with Instagram, one of the world’s most popular online photo and video sharing platforms. Independent developer Alessandro Paluzzi announced that the censorship application has been implemented in the Instagram mobile application. Fortunately, this censorship will only apply to Broadcast Channels, at least for now. It is not clear why the platform made such a decision.
Instagram’s Broadcast Channels, which have been in use for a few months, allow users to share announcements. In particular, the feature, which is actively used by Mark Zuckerberg, allows Zuckerberg to share text or visual content, and the channel participants to react to them.
It will not be possible to react with some emojis to the posts made from the Broadcast Channels!
Above, you see the emojis that cannot be used in the Instagram Broadcast Channels feature. Yes, the emojis in question can sometimes be used for insults and sometimes for aggression. However, it is meaningless that the censorship consists only of Broadcasting Channels. As a result, a user who will display an insulting or offensive attitude can also do this through the comments section of the posts.
According to Alessandro Paluzzi’s statement, Instagram’s censorship application will be effective with the release of the Android version with the code v288.0.0.0.1. Meanwhile; Nothing for iOS yet. However, the independent developer says that a similar censorship will be implemented in the iOS version of Instagram. We will continue to inform you when there is a new development on the subject.
