After the bombings in Sri Lanka, several social networks were blocked, including Facebook and Instagram. According to the government, it is these services that contain the most fake news. That is why it was decided to block these social networks. The decision was taken, among other things, in order not to sow panic among people, at least for the time of the investigation of the terrorist attacks. It is also reported that such news, which has nothing to do with the truth, incites hatred towards Muslims. The government says that when the perpetrators of the bombings in Sri Lanka are found, access to Facebook and Instagram will be restored.

Now the likes may disappear from Instagram. Bloggers will not like it for sure.
The world-famous social network has tested a feature that could hide the number of likes under the photo.

However, the total number of likes will only be able to see the authors of the post.
Thus, Instagram wants to improve the quality of publications. The social network motivates users to take high-quality photos, not to chase the likes.
