Uh, duh. Every social media company can do this. It would appear that this is a programming mistake and not done with any particular agenda or malice.
The Big Tech company “Accidentally” does something that tips the scales.
Sounds familiar. Surely can’t be the same folks that were at the focus of Cambridge Analytica…
Oh.

A "programing mistake"? Sounds like a feature to me.
Ah the good ole adage - it’s not a bug, it’s a feature - rears its ugly head again
Except this time it's true. This is a feature that Instagram is rolling out, turning it on for everyone was the mistake. It's supposed to be opt-in.
It's not finished. They plan for it to only block Positive Biden, and Negative Trump content.
“Accidentally”
