Yes, I confirmed. I live in Germany and hashtags like democrat or berniesanders are blocked and hashtags like Republican and donaldjtrump are not blocked.
I was only on Instagram for my friends to exchange reels and post life updates like once a year but this crosses another line. Migrating from all these monopolies is such a tax on my time but this is a small way to hurt these big giants.
I recommend everyone do the same when they have the time. I’d like to learn about RSS feeds and go back to a bunch of individual blogs for friends and family. Decentralized power is I guess the most important characteristic to look for these days. Fuck, this correction period is going to suck.
Is this true? Can anyone confirm this?

I just confirmed it in the US. #republican returns plenty of results.
Strangely, this is also the case in Australia.
Is this the ole’ Rupert Murdoch?
Your Republican Party is left progressive yes? So they probably didn’t account for geo location when they started banning search terms.
Confirmed
Happens if you search #berniesanders too but mot #donaldtrump
Just tested in in the EU with a friend’s Instagram account. It’s real.
Also happening on TikTok now after the “ban”.
You can google it, it’s like that for many people.
I can search #domocrat again, but not #fuckputin or #prochoice etc.
You can also test for yourself, this screenshot was from my instagram search
