		Matthyze 11 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The Day Instagram Blocked Democracy My (quite uninformed) take is that it was a show of loyalty from Zuckerberg or Meta to the Trump administration. Tech oligarchs have been trying to curry favor after Trump's win. Due to Meta's previous stance on fact-checking, Meta might have been asked to demonstrate its loyalty.

If that's true, this was just a test of a newly released "feature" rather than the "show of loyalty" itself.

Yes, I believe that. Probably showing what they're both capable of doing and willing to do.
