Here's How Instagram Checks Hoax Content Works
Content containing hoax news does not only exist on Twitter and Facebook. Instagram has also been filled with the latest hoax news content that is similar and cannot be justified.
With that said, Instagram has now moved to fact-check using the same system used by the company above it, Facebook. Content deemed to contain hoax news will be removed but its visibility will not be reduced.
Content that has been marked as hoax news will appear in the tab Explore and hashtag search results. So if a user follows an account that spreads hoax news, they can also see it in the feed.
Besides that, he said Instagram will also add pop-up which appears when users search for keywords related to misinformation such as anti-vaccine content. However, this method is considered no better if a special label is attached which indicates the content contains a hoax.
