Instagram deletes one of many accounts producing military-focused memes: Space Force Actual was an Instagram account that produced military-focused memes, which are often humorous images including text that make some sort of comical statement. The account had over 120,000 followers at the time Instagram took the account down. In its message to the account's owner, Instagram only indicated that the account had violated its terms of service, but did not inform the account's owner which exact policy it had violated, according to a video about censored military meme accounts from a YouTube channel called "Angry Cops." The video also alleged that the account, had never before received a strike against its account for breaking any of the platform's rules. "Congratulations Facebook and Instagram, you bastions of free speech, you've just taken down some of the military's only whistleblowing options that they had," the host of the video from the Angry Cops YouTube channel said. He used the example of "the 230 incident" to prove his point. "Soldiers were told, 'if you're going to get medical attention for trench foot and hypothermia we're going to negative counsel you," the host explained. "How do you think that all these sailors were able to push out information of 'Hey listen I've been on this ship for six months, I'm not allowed to leave because of COVID restrictions, but all the civilians and people above the rank of O-4 — that's officer 4 for you dummies — are able to walk on and off the ship and do as they f***ing please."
