Social Media platform Instagram has disabled the political satire account of Wokeflix for 30 days. Wokeflix’s Twitter account that claims to be the vaccine for Woke’ism or Woke culture has tweeted about the step taken by Instagram.

When was the last time a left wing, anti govt, anti Hindu, anti Modi, #Hinduphobic account was banned @InstagramComms ?

The vile abuse and hatred being spread by the above is at all time high and you have a problem with this…#wokeflix #wokeflixandchill #WokeFlixReloaded pic.twitter.com/OVqLMmt1Qn
Instagram also removed a post by Wokeflix, saying it contained hate speech or symbols.
In one tweet it said, “When was the last time a left wing, anti govt, anti Hindu, anti Modi, #Hinduphobic account was banned @InstagramComms ? The vile abuse and hatred being spread by the above is at all time high and you have a problem with this… #wokeflix #wokeflixandchill #WokeFlixReloaded”.
Last month, Instagram had removed access to link sticker for Wokeflix’s account for allegedly violating its guidelines. A message sent by Instagram had said that Wokeflix will not have access to link sticker because they had shared content that violates Instagram’s Community Guidelines.
Was @instagram’s ‘Community Guidelines’ written like 1400+ years ago? Cause they don’t make any sense. pic.twitter.com/UYYv7JqP6R

Wokeflix however received widespread support on social media for the restoration of its disabled Instagram account.
A satire page getting suspended for making people laugh? This is ridiculous.

India cannot become another country where a loud woke minority decides what is punishment & what constitutes a ban. Let free speech prevail.
Hope this decision is overturned ASAP. @InstagramComms @Meta https://t.co/LoDtQZZTF2

In west wokes are running the corporates these days. We must not allow the same in Indian corporate sector. Minority but loud wokes can’t decide for people. Opposition & punishment for wokeness by any company should be swift and decisive to save our freedom & democratic rights. https://t.co/JSelQUzGux

I am perplexed about this seemingly unfair , arbitrary and unilateral decision that seems aimed at silencing a point of view that is inconvenient to the “pseudo liberal” ecosystem
