This latest incident joins a wave of reported issues across social platforms as tech giants and users navigate the new political landscape

Meta, for example, maintains that its content filtering affects "hashtags across the political spectrum," while TikTok attributes reported access issues to temporary instability during its recent service restoration.

Whether these developments could signal a broader shift in how digital platforms approach their role in political discourse — a change that could have lasting implications for online information access and distribution in the future – remains to be seen.
