Personal anecdote
Recently I’ve been having trouble sharing any news related post on Instagram. Its not just Canadian news agencies, its anything news like.
Meanwhile I can share low quality spam just fine.
Well that’s a great way to get other outlets reporting on this news that is then harder to suppress and which more people on FB will now see.
I could’ve just said “Streisand effect” but I think the mechanisms are interesting.
