•Cow vigilantes in India are using Instagram to spread violence and raise money, according to a new report
66% Informative
A new report from the Center for the Study of Organized Hate (CSOH) found that Instagram , which is owned by Meta , is becoming a key avenue for cow vigilantes to share their violent exploits with a wider audience.
CSOH identified and analyzed 1,023 Instagram accounts run by users involved in cow vigilantism.
Researchers found that 30 percent of the accounts shared content showing physical violence against Muslims involved in the cattle business.
India accounts for more than 362 million users on Instagram alone.
The company has been hesitant to take action on content that could put it in the crosshairs of the Indian government.
Earlier this year , Meta shuttered CrowdTangle tool that allowed researchers to track content across its platforms.
