Instagram is now ‘fact-checking’ and removing memes, including one that sought to make fun out of climate activist Greta Thunberg’s hypocrisy.

Back in May, Instagram announced that it would begin “fact checking” and removing memes.

The Facebook-owned platform said it would rely on 52 global “fact checking partners” to censor “false photos and memes on its platform,” according to Poynter.

This was no idle threat, with Instagram now ‘fact checking’ and censoring embarrassing memes about climate change activist Greta Thunberg.

One of the memes shows Greta enjoying a meal on a train while hungry African children watch from outside the window.

The image is blatantly meant to be satirical, but Instagram slapped a large message on the meme saying “Independent Fact-Checkers Say This is False.”

Another meme which isn’t even political was also removed.

It shows someone trying to remove a tire’s valve stem and is accompanied by the text “Stop the government from tracking your car. Remove the RFID chip from the factory by snipping off this tube.”
