Instagram said it will now block additional hashtags that surface vaccine misinformation, but other hashtags and content promoted by anti-vaccination accounts are still thriving on the platform

New York Instagram said Thursday it will now block additional hashtags that surface vaccine misinformation, but other hashtags and content promoted by anti-vaccination accounts are still thriving on the platform.

The change in Instagram's policies comes after a CNN Business report on Wednesday which revealed that, though Instagram had announced it was blocking hashtags like #VaccinescauseAIDS, the hashtag #VaccinesKill was still up on the app and appeared as a top result in a search for"vaccines" after anti-vax accounts. The majority of the top posts under the hashtag were misinformation. #VaccinesKill is now a blocked hashtag.

Only ignorant people think vaccines kill

Taking medical advice from Instagram...Seriously? Smh

Please also block these photos which are NOT helping...how about posting stock photos of babies with measles or vaccine preventable diseases instead of a needle jabbing an arm.

This whole thing started back when mine we're babies. I saw scare tactics and so called 'information', so I researched to learn actual facts and based my decision on that. It seemed logical then, still seems logical now.

Stop with the poison propaganda!!

This ant-vaccine movement is just a propaganda tool to do as much harm to the USA as possible by our many enemies and revolutionists.

Okay, well if you take your medical advice from Instagram, there’s something wrong with you.

HS principal with sign in her office read: “If you aren’t part of the solution, you are part of the problem.” FaceBook, Instagram, Twitter & other social media platforms, through benign neglect of the spread of misinformation, have become part of the problem! VaccinesWork

I hope anti-stupidity be a trend someday...

Media platforms funneling thoughts, ideas, and beliefs into a single narrative is going to be a much bigger problem in the future than measles. Fascism

no

I love censorship

How about CNNisFakeNews can't wait till they block that Censorship

Free speech rules!

Reminds me of 2016 elections. Keep Trump dirty and Hilary clean. Still he thrive on the throne. RealFacts vs FakeNews Trump2020

Thanks to mass immigration from Latin America, vaccines are required again.

None of these platforms seem to be able to be managed efficiently.
