Political Bias or Technical Issue: Meta Faces Backlash Over Instagram Hashtag Error

 #Democrat and #Democrats to display “results hidden” on Instagram.

What’s the problem with that?

Technical error or Informed decision?

However, 

#Republicans show millions of posts, which makes the situation seem one-sided.

Curious how people come to know about this?

Zuckerberg and team take on this?

It’s not about politics – It’s a technical error. Not just #Democrat and #Democrats, some Republican-related ones, need fixation too. Promised to handle the errors.

Social media expert Matt Navarra told BBC, describing the situation as “embarrassing” for Meta

“In today’s hyper-partisan environment, even unintentional errors can lead to accusations of bias,” he explained. “If Meta doesn’t resolve this quickly, they risk escalating conspiracy theories and damaging their reputation further.”

What’s the current status? Has Meta solved it?

No, The error hasn’t been fixed till today.

Searching for Democrats manually (without the hashtag) also shows no results and claims it’s due to sensitive content. Will these minor-seeming errors cause a bad reputation and conspiracy theories for Meta and Mark?
