Have you noticed a flood of anti-Islam comments on Instagram?
As-salamu alaykum. I don't use the app much, but I keep it just in case. What I've noticed over and over is that on almost every Islamic reel, Instagram pushes anti-Islam comments right to the top. We all know hate comments are everywhere online, but it feels way worse on Instagram. I have to scroll past a bunch of them before seeing real, normal comments from actual users. What's strange is that many of these hateful comments are recent, yet they show above older ones with way more likes that are friendly or on-topic. I'm pretty sure most of those are bot comments. I even tried an experiment: I copied one anti-Islam comment almost exactly, but swapped words like "Islam" or "Qur'an" with other groups. Instagram instantly warned me, blocked the comment, or removed it and flagged my account. Has anyone else seen this, or am I alone? And why aren't Muslim content creators removing these hateful comments? Even if you're a big page and busy, you can literally set filters.
