Social media platforms are struggling to manage the explosion of posts around protests against George Floyd’s death. Instagram’s anti-spam tech automatically deleted posts on the topic Black Lives Matter, Facebook employees hit back at Mark Zuckerberg’s ‘inaction’ over the US President’s tweets, and Twitter suspended hundreds of accounts it believes to be inciting violence.
