Opposes Meta's interference in Brazilian elections
38%23 comments
“A Meta está sob suspeita de interferir nas eleições brasileiras. Uma empresa estrangeira não pode ter o poder de influenciar os rumos políticos do Brasil por meio dos seus algoritmos. Exigimos transparência, imparcialidade e respeito à democracia brasileira.”
“Instagram manipulating the elections in Brazil.”
“Instagram e seu algoritmos está interferindo na eleição presidencial no Brasil. E prejudicando a democracia.”

“The fact that no one in the US can opt out of Meta AI scrapping their account is horrifying. My 7 years account down the drain”
“Meta doesn’t care about individual privacy and will steal your data and IP.”
“Forcing users to opt into AI training with no ability to opt out, not a good platform for creatives or humans in general! Their decision to include business accounts in forced AI training makes this app worthless”
Complains about arbitrary account suspensions
13%8 comments
“I’m just curious: What would happen if we reported Instagram’s and Meta’s own Instagram accounts for CSAM/CSE content? Would Meta’s AI ban those accounts? If so, could we all do it?   submitted by   /u/CigAfterTax   to   r/InstagramDisabledBans [link]   [comments]”
“Hey all, I’ll make a more in depth post but. In May both Facebook and Instagram got suspended for a human trafficking AI ban on a baby sitter post. I’ve done two legal demand letters both to USA and Ireland. USA replied and said no chance I will ever get either of them back. I also have a small claims court date set in December. I have NO IDEA how, what triggered it or gave it back. No emails noth”
“I have no idea why all my accounts get suspended but I am done I am not a robot nor did I do anything wrong I didn’t have any referrals or nothing I just got suspended. I’m not downloading this app again.”

Concerns about toxic content and ads
8%5 comments
“The Ads and AI are getting out of control!! 0/10 I miss the old days when it was just friends and family!”
“It’s an amazing app, and if you find the right people you can easily have a good experience butttt, there are a few toxic people and it takes a while to get popular, and you can get addicted from doomscrolling which isn’t good, but overall it’s a good app, just control yourself and be optimistic! ^^”
“Users on this app can be very toxic, ive seen so much bullying and hate being spread. I know some of that can just be the “internet” but tiktok seems to have a lot of it. On the other hand I do enjoy scrolling thru tiktok and shopping but i do not post because of the above mentioned.”
