Facebook
owned Instagram in 2012 for $ 1.0 billion. Instagram has has
apologized for a technical bug that deleted the story post by
millions of users, including social activists, globally.
Adam Mosseri, Instagram’s Head, said in a tweet on
Friday that the platform experienced a technical bug, which impacted millions
of people’s stories, highlights, and archives around the world.
Mosseri
informed “For people impacted by this bug, they saw their stories that
were re-sharing posts disappear and their archive and highlights stories were
missing.”
The technical problem commences around the National Day of
Awareness of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, with organizations like Red
Dress questioning whether their posts had been deleted deliberately.
The Instagram head said “This day is incredibly important to
raise awareness of this critical issue and support our Indigenous community on
Instagram.”
He said “We apologize to all those who felt like they could
not bring attention to these incredibly important causes and many others
around the world”
Instagram had said in an earlier tweet that some people were
experiencing issues uploading and viewing stories.
It had said “This is a widespread global technical issue not
related to any particular topic and we’re fixing it right now. We’ll provide an
update as soon as we can.”
Mosseri said that several people thought the company was
“removing their content because of what they posted or what hashtag they used”.
“But this bug wasn’t related to the content itself, but
rather a widespread issue that has now been fixed”.
