Instagram censors user for posting pro-Rittenhouse content: A Twitter user shared screenshots of his Instagram censorship notices. He noted: "I raised the vibes at Instagram this morning, Zuck removed posts, I reposted, Suspended for 30 days. Soooo, started a ghost account.Posts in support of Kyle Rittenhouse are deleted." He also said, in another tweet, "Yesterday my account at Instagram was permanently suspended for this post supporting Kyle Rittenhouse. They removed this pic so@I posted it again." Some of the content that was censored, according to screenshots that he shared, included a post of a challenge in the spirit of CrossFit featuring Kyle Rittenhouse, showing a picture of him kneeling with his gun, and explaining what he did on the night of the Kenosha riot and after. Another post of a meme showing Kyle Rittenhouse with his gun and text overlay saying "Bagging a wife beater, a pedo and a burglar in one night. A feat which will forever be known as 'The Kenosha Hat Trick.'" These posts were deleted. It is unclear from the screenshots that were shared what other action was taken account the user's account.
