The action of ceasing to display posts associated with specific tags within the Instagram platform characterizes a content visibility limitation. For example, if a user searches for or clicks on a particular tag, the expected display of all recent public posts using that tag may be incomplete, with some content omitted.
This moderation process affects content discovery and community engagement. Historically, it has been implemented to mitigate the spread of inappropriate content, combat spam, and address violations of platform guidelines. The adjustments aim to create a safer and more authentic environment for users.
