We posted (as usual) on Instagram and Threads and got told to pound sand. What this means for journalism, democracy, and you.

Question: I’m guessing this blocking is all based off of IP address, can anyone confirm?

If so, does a VPN with (say) a US endpoint get around it?

    I agree. My first reaction when it broke about them blocking news was ‘I don’t see them or use them as a news aggregator anyway, so who cares’; let them take their click bait promotion and dwell time algorithms elsewhere.

      Right? I got Facebook years ago to see pictures of my friends’ cats and tell fart jokes, not to argue about the news.
