Instagram Restricted Sandra Bland Hashtag To Block Hate Speech
Since Sandra Blands death the hashtag #sandrabland started trending folks on Twitter, Facebook; Instgram have shared this hashtag.
Instagram has generated over 246,000 posts I like so many of us black woman didn’t realize we could be #sandrabland that could be our sister, our aunt, are grandmother our friend! Sandra Bland was an activist against racial injustice her face was out there because she was part of this thing called social media that she took part in. By doing so she put her life in danger these hashtags began being censored and blocked by Instagram, Instagram stated that they were not cencering but trying to weed out the racists from using the hashtag (shits giggles) for their racist violent rants which is against Instagram’s community guidelines. Since we’ve had social media the RACISTS(S) have really come out to show out and it’s going to get worse before it gets better!
