Meta said it was working urgently to fix a problem with Instagram which results in a “results hidden” message when users search for the terms “Democrat” or “Democrats”. Some social media users have accused the company of political bias, pointing out the issue has been occurring after President Donald Trump’s inauguration on Monday, which was attended by Meta owner Mark Zuckerberg. Meta has insisted that is not the case, saying it is a technical problem which has also affected other hashtags, including a Republican one. However, social media expert Matt Navarra said it was “embarrassing” for Instagram regardless. “In a…

In one of his first acts as the 47th president of the United States, Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at ending “birthright citizenship” – meaning the automatic American citizenship that is granted to anyone born in the country. It’s a policy change he’s long promised – but implementing it won’t be easy. Trump’s order seeks to change the rules to deny the granting of citizenship to the children of migrants who are either in the US illegally or on temporary visas. The document does not suggest that the order would apply retrospectively. But it remains unclear how he…

But the broad themes were fundamentally Trumpian, setting himself up as a national savior. Breaking tradition, the…
