Instagram social media has a mission beyond its main one: making mental insecurity and publishing false and forged news. During the previous years, Instagram has omitted the posts concerning the martyrdom of Lieutenant general Hajj Qasem Soleimani. It has also blocked hundreds of Instagram pages completely. It has removed the Iranian users posts concerning condemning the assassination of the unclear scientist Martyr Fakhrizadeh and has also omitted the news concerning the martyrdom of commander of an army Hejazi extensively.

Now, Instagram is removing the posts concerning Baha'ism cult criticism although it is claiming for freedom of expression.
