EDM Hashtag Removed From Instagram
. According to Time magazine, Instagram spokesman Gabe Madway explained the blocking of the hashtag: 'In this case, #EDM was being used to share content that violates our guidelines around nudity." Other hashtags that have been blacklisted include #weed, #sex, #lingerie and #underwear although #boxershorts is still acceptable. Hashtags are intensely moderated on Instagram, especially following last month's fall out when the #curvy was banned. Many users were infuriated when the positive body image term was blacklisted from the app. The hashtag has since been reinstated. Read more here.
