We don't know what's going on in his mind on Facebook. Your social network It is the most used in the world even more after the almost definitive withdrawal of Google, leaving Google + aside.. WhatsApp is currently the most used messaging application in the world with more than 1.000 billion monthly active users. In second position is Facebook Messenger.
We also find Instagram within the domain of Facebook, the social network of photographs that Over time it has managed to surpass Twitter in number of followers despite having been on the market for less time. What more can Mark Zuckerberg ask for?
A few weeks ago we were able to check how WhatsApp does not offer a preview of Telegram links But it only happened with the Telegram links. It seems that Zuckerberg does not want its users to know the benefits and advantages that this Russian messaging platform offers us and tries to avoid it by capping the links.
But it seems that it is not the only Zuckerberg application that is undergoing censorship. Instagram, the photo social network, has joined the censorship. If we want to establish in our Instagram profile a web address of our user in Telegram or Snapchat, the application responds with the following message: Links to ask a person to add you to another service that is not compatible with Instagram.
A message that does not make any sense, since if you allow us to add our Twitter address in case any of our followers want to follow us on the microblogging network. Until now, Instagram allowed you to add any type of address without questioning its origin, but for a few days it has been impossible.
According to a company spokesman: "It is not [our] way of using the platform. Very good, but it does not clarify because other services like Twitter have not been affected for this censorship, as well as the links to LinkedIn and obviously to Facebook profiles.
The reasons for this censorship, whatever they may be, they are completely absurd unless Facebook wants to get a slice of these companies and offer them the ability to add links to your services in exchange for money. It would not surprise me since the social network lives on advertising and they surely think that from Instagram they are advertising them for free, as if no one in the world knew about Telegram or Snapchat.
