Instagram has removed conservative political commentator Kaitlin Bennett’s iconic graduation photo from three years ago for “violence and incitement.” Meanwhile, the platform has allowed an endless stream of threats against the right-wing firebrand to continue for years.
Apparently, Instagram believes that photos of you peacefully exercising your Second Amendment right are a crime. In their notification to Bennett, they said “we don’t allow content that may lead to a genuine risk to physical harm or direct threat to public safety.”

Speaking to the Gateway Pundit, Bennett said that the company did not just remove her post, they accused her of a crime — and if they truly believe she is a threat, they should call the police.
“If Instagram is going to say that I’m making direct threats to public safety, then they should call the cops. They’re not just taking down a post that they say goes against community standards. They’re accusing me of committing a crime,” Bennett said. “Ironically they are perfectly okay with letting thousands of liberals use their platform to make direct threats against me all the time.”
Additionally, Bennett accused them of siding with mass shooters because of the intent behind her photo.
“I took my graduation photo as a statement that the Kent State massacre wouldn’t have happened if the students that got shot had guns,” she added. “By taking down my graduation photo, Instagram is siding with the mass shooters.”
Bennett also noted that she has been subjected to countless threats on the platform, none of which Instagram seems to take action against.

She also provided a sampling of the threats and harassment she has received in recent days. Warning, they are vulgar and disturbing.
ummm not guilty
What? They did not like her legs?no kankles there.
don’t really need the scope for urban warfare...
Can’t believe it was only three years ago.
Stop using these platforms. I’m sick of hearing people complain about them. It’s not the Election season.
She has to be one of the most hated young women on social media. When she makes a post, people keep alluding to some embarrassing, Al Roker-like incident in her personal past, and if a guy dares to compliment her, he’ll get replies implying that he is an incel.
With that much flak, the lovely Ms. Bennett is obviously right over her targets.
Instagram, subsidiary of Facebook, is also a bunch of flaming hypocrites.
Instagram is trash.
Why does she bother with that platform?
If she wants to lead, go move to a defensible position over at Gab or whatever
Totally sexy
> don’t really need the scope for urban warfare...
maybe her remington 870 was in the shop...

Nice gun.
We need to know who at Big Tech are the ones who make these decisions. And start addressing them as the fascists they are.
You don’t win battles by constantly ceding territory. Conservatives have a real difficulty time understanding this concept.
Never noticed how far you can see down streets.
Never noticed how some buildings are well over 100 yards long.
Optics are a welcome addition
she needs to post on Trump’s upcoming social media site, and on Mike Lindell’s Site-
She got her well-deserved 15 minutes.
