Instagram Shadowban: all_things_democracy
Instagram is actively suppressing all_things_democracy—an account with 330k+ followers that shares fact-based political and social content, once reaching over 25 million people monthly. Since June 16, 2025, over 50 cleared videos were falsely flagged as “duplicate content,” yet the account remains shadowbanned—hidden from Explore, Search, and Reels despite no violations.
Instagram Takedown: @awareness.advocacy.change
Instagram suspended @awareness.advocacy.change, an account with over 230,000 followers and a reach of 300k–600k people per month, after it shared a clip of Diego Luna discussing immigrant rights on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
