Instagram removes meme about the 2020 U.S. presidential election: Prominent radio host and former presidential and senatorial candidate Austin Petersen shared a screenshot of a notice from Instagram saying a post on his account was removed. The post in question depicted an NPC meme where one character said "We need to elect Biden." Another character replied, "Make the case without mentioning Trump." The first character did not respond and became visibly angry. Instagram removed the post claiming it went against its Community Guidelines. The platform further stated that its guidelines were "...based on our global community, and some audiences may be sensitive to different things." Instagram did not specifically mention how Petersen's post violated its Community Guidelines.
