Instagram apologizes for inserting 'terrorist' into Palestinian bio translations - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37946080 - Oct 2023 (178 comments)

From that thread: "Instagram (and Facebook) are well known to suppress pro-Palestine voices [...], so this seems like something consistent with what the company is known to do."

Do we need to start including a hash in social media posts as a check against such expergation? A private client could auto insert and check them. Since the social media service could change the hash too, this might be a legit use case for a block chain.

This might be a legit use case for PGP and signing your posts with your private key
