Suicidal Tendencies’ Instagram Account Was Taken Down Due to Band Name
Suicidal Tendencies‘ Instagram account mysteriously disappeared three weeks ago, and it turns out that the band’s name was likely flagged by the social media platform’s content filter.

Per the New York Times, both Republicans and Democrats in the hearing agreed that Facebook is causing harm to teenagers, and it has to stop. Lawmakers focused on the research intel Haugen brought to light, revealing Facebook was well aware of the harm apps like Instagram were causing to teens. Seve...
