A new analysis of Instagram posts involving hate crimes in India claims that Meta ’s widely used social networking platform has become a hub to promote, glorify and in some ways, reward violence.

A third of the more than 1,000 Instagram accounts researchers tracked over six months posted videos of brutal physical assaults.

Report found tens of thousands of posts that use hashtag # MonuManesar to amplify their violent content.

Monu Manesar is the prime suspect in the high-profile kidnapping and killing of two Muslim men last year .

The report details how Instagram has failed to follow its own guidelines to stop the promotion of these hate crimes and violence on Instagram in India .
