A good read on Instagram - a bit long - but - does give you some idea of how “engineered” the social media experience is on Instagram.

Some less technical mention of what triggers this generic/boilerplate search warning message.
Taken as a whole - why the heck is Trump Jr even fooling around on Instagram?
Sometimes even good intentions from supporters - can work to dilute the presidents message.
I manage SM presence for about a dozen businesses - and nobody wants to fool around with Instagram or Snapchat - its bad enough they have to pay me to manage Facebook. But at least Facebook is like - adults - people with jobs and money - that’s our demographic! Horny and depressed teenagers...not so much.
btt
Zuckerberg is going over some pretty serious lines in the sand, IMO.
FBI needs to investigate this blocking of a person’s First Amendment rights. Instagram is a pubic forum and Judge Buchenwald would not be happy.
Bingo. Except Zuck is more insidious than Rockefeller.
This was part of his Instagram post
Also see video and pic where a friend searching MY NAME got a message warning that “Posts with words or tags you’re searching for often encourage behavior that can cause harm and even lead to death”
Not following you - what video?
I read the attached article that says “When the Washington Examiner attempted to replicate what Trump Jr.’s video shows in a search for his name, the warning message did not show up.”
And - following that boilerplate warning - there are 3 options.
One of the options is “See Posts Anyway”
Click that and proceed as normal.
It is disturbing and censor-ish - but its not as if they are blocking or removing Don Jrs. account or content.
Like I suggested earlier - more likely activists playing games with the Instagram “Wellness” bot
Thanks -I see the remark from T-Jr now.
