Instagram removes story with Trump meme: Radio host and former political candidate Austin Petersen tweeted that one of his Instagram stories was reportedly removed for violating the platform's Community Guidelines. The story included a meme depicting still images of Trump giving an address. The text of the meme said, "I just wanted to tell you all that, I'm starting to feel good. The doctors said they've never seen a body kill the Coronavirus like my body. They tested my DNA and it wasn't DNA. It was USA. They said if Joe Biden had this virus his body would've died several times by now. His son would've died too. As well as every Democrat." A slider scale with a heart-eyes emoji appeared beneath the meme, allowing viewers to interact with the post. The Instagram removal notice claimed that it  "... removed [Peterson's] story because it goes against our Community Guidelines. Our guidelines are based on our global community, and some audiences may be sensitive to different things." It is unclear how this post violated Instagram's Community Guidelines.
