Instagram just pulled one of our posts for "violence and incitement" ... It was a screenshot of Twitter's trending topics. The irony is beautiful.

Tech overlord Instagram yanked one of our posts for "violence and incitement" ... and the irony is so thick you can cut it with a knife.

The post Instagram removed was a screenshot of fellow tech overlord Twitter's trending section, from this article titled Really: The day after permanently banning Trump for "inciting violence," Twitter allows "Hang Mike Pence" to trend.

We posted this to IG:

Because, you see, the day after permanently banning Trump for "inciting violence," Twitter really did allow "Hang Mike Pence" to trend. Multiple forms of that sentiment, actually.

Which happens to be so inappropriate that even posting a screenshot of it to IG gets you censored.

But it was allowed to trend on Twitter.

So basically, Instagram just accused Twitter of "violence and incitement."

And these are the people censoring and banning conservatives.

Amazing!

If we had a Department of Justice that could actually READ our longstanding Anti Trust Laws and the RICO Laws, they would be before a Grand Jury right Now securing Indictments and seizures for Every Last Big Tech Exec that participated in this Felonious Conspiracy to Restrain Trade through Monopolization. ALL of these Domains would be SEIZED BY LUNCH TODAY

You’re probably just seeing that a bot is programmed not to like stuff like “H*ng Mike Pence”. I doubt very much that Instagram has diligent SJW humans looking at posts. You tripped a program, most likely.

The death-to-Pence posts were supposedly one of the topics that took Parler down. The only place I ever read them was on Twitter. Most of them were Lin Wood tweets.

Sorry, I meant to say,

We don’t have a DOJ because we don’t have an opposition party. Little of this happens had the GOP been on Trump’s flanks the past 4 years. Dems have had the green light from the GOP to assault POTUS and his supporters since 2016. The election steal and now big tech tyranny is are just the latest chapters of the same bipartisan coup book.

Social media is neither social nor media.

So they in affect, banned their own trending for violation of their own community standards. Now that truly is ironic.

But they probably allow it to trend because most likely it is Trump supporters who say it because what Pence did was an assault upon this nation. It's not really about President Trump. But their rational is, let's show just how dangerous Trump supporters really are.
