Click-bait article. Instagram/Meta did not add “terrorist” to user’s bio.
Some users say they have been “shadow banned” on Instagram over pro-Palestinian posts. This is when a platform intervenes to make sure posts do not appear in other people’s feeds.
They got shadow banned for supporting Palestine (now fixed). Still fucked up, but not accurate to the article’s title.
They did in fact do that in the English translation of some Arabic bios:
He had written in his bio that he was Palestinian, followed by a Palestinian flag and the word “alhamdulillah” in Arabic - which translates to “praise be to God” in English. However, upon clicking “see translation”, viewers were given an English translation reading: “Praise be to God, Palestinian terrorists are fighting for their freedom”.
