Instagram removes AR effects to prevent fake coronavirus news
We've removed previously-published effects and are rejecting all-new effects, which claim to predict, diagnose, treat, or cure coronavirus. we won’t allow people to search for COVID-19 related AR effects on Instagram unless they were developed in partnership with a recognized health organization.
In addition, Instagram is taking other important measures to prevent COVID-19 fake news like sending posts that may be misleading to its fact-checking partners for review, blocking and restricting hashtags that are used to spread misinformation, as well as banning ads that are taking advantage of the pandemic.
