Instagram really is among the worst, isn't it?
Check this out:
Yeah, if you want to follow Tucker Carlson on Instagram (and you should go do it now, since they don't want you to) it gives you a bizarre warning, asking if you're really sure you wanna do that.
Ashton DeGroot, Blaze Media's social media content coordinator, observed Monday that following Carlson is no easy feat on the Meta platform.
A perfunctory search for Carlson failed to turn up his verified account. Instead, impersonators and fan accounts flooded the results. After multiple tries, it appeared clear that Carlson's verified account would only appear if his exact handle, @TuckerCarlson, was entered into the search bar.
Just to verify this, I did the same thing on my phone. Tucker Carlson is a major figure with a verified account and millions of followers, but if you search his name on Instagram they will NOT show you his account in the top results.
Here's what it looked like from my phone:
You have Tucker's news network show up.
But not his personal page.
You'd think if you typed in the name of the most popular right-wing news host with a verified account and millions of followers he'd show up on the results page!
In order to find him, you have to remove the spaces in his name and click for more results.
Then, IG might give you this message:
The pop-up reads, 'Are you sure you want to follow tuckercarlson?'
'This account has repeatedly posted false information that was reviewed by independent fact-checkers or it went against our Community Guidelines,' added the pop-up.
Try it yourself.
Here's my phone again when I attempted to follow Tucker:
"InDePeNdEnT fAcT-ChEcKeRs have said he spreads misinformation! Don't you dare follow him!"
The leftist censors and META losers don't want you to see Tucker in your feed! He's dangerous to the regime!
When asked for comment about Instagram's apparent suppression effort, Neil Patel, co-founder and CEO of the Tucker Carlson Network, told Blaze News, 'Tucker has one of the largest audiences in all of media. Millions of people rely on him because they know he's trying his best to tell the truth.'
'This combination of scale and independence is a serious threat to established power," continued Patel. "That is the only reason why people can't even go to a Tucker Carlson birthday post on Instagram without some insane warning.'
Thank goodness for Elon Musk and X, where Tucker's following is 4 times bigger than IG.
