Oh woah, definitely not sanitized of politics. Probably because I follow some politicians, I get recommendations for these crazy, aggressive political meme pages. I see some very very hot button stuff on my feed.

Count yourself lucky that Instagram looks politically sanitized!

I mean, you can't escape politics on Instagram if you're actively searching & subscribing to the topic. I think the point is, even if you just follow close friends on Facebook, your news feed is almost still guaranteed to have daily political posts/memes/ads. The lack of ability to post links & easily repost/share on Instagram deters those types of groups from posting clickbait in the hopes to drive people to their ad-heavy pages. Instagram is a refreshing break from it in that regard.

Why would you follow politicians on Instagram in the first place?
