Buckle up, because the left’s speech police are at it again, swinging their censorship batons to silence voices they don’t like.

In a world where Instagram happily promotes OnlyFans "models" and pornographic content, the platform has drawn a hard line against edgy political speech, proving once more that the First Amendment is under siege by Big Tech’s woke overlords.

This time, their target is Nick Fuentes, a controversial figure whose viral clips are being wiped from the platform in a brazen move to control the narrative.

Instagram reportedly initiated a sweeping purge of content related to Nick Fuentes, a right-wing influencer known for his provocative political commentary.

The crackdown began on Tuesday, after clips from Fuentes’ show started gaining significant traction, racking up millions of views.

Accounts dedicated to sharing Fuente's content were reportedly abruptly banned, and videos featuring his commentary were removed en masse.

"After Nick Fuentes went viral across the platform, Instagram has begun removing videos from his show and taking down clipper channels that post his content," an X post from@AFpost reported.

Fuentes himself addressed the censorship of his content on Tuesday.

"Earlier this year, Instagram relaxed its censorship and allowed users to post clips from my show. Almost overnight, the clips started going viral," Fuentes tweeted. "Today all of the clipping accounts were banned and the censorship has resumed. Totally rigged system."

Like scores of Trump-supporting or conservative content creators, Fuentes has been removed from virtually all online platforms.

Fuentes’ history of rhetoric that offends the radical left has long made him a target for deplatforming. He has been banned from Instagram since at least 2021, alongside other platforms like YouTube, Twitter, prior to getting reinstated, Reddit, TikTok, and more, for violating hate speech rules.

"I have been banned from Twitch since 2019, YouTube and TikTok since 2020, Facebook/Instagram since 2021, and Twitter from 2021-2024," Fuentes noted. "Today I am only permitted on X and Rumble. I have been blacklisted, slandered, and suppressed my entire career. When will it end?"

The purge of Fuentes from Instagram aligns with Instagram’s history of restricting Fuentes’ presence.

A 2023 report from Media Matters, the leftist pro-censorship organization, identified at least 18 Instagram accounts associated with Fuentes or his “groyper” followers, along with 29 others promoting his America First movement through memes, clips, and links to his streaming platform, Cozy.TV.

Meta confirmed to Gizmodo in 2023 that it was reviewing such reports and would remove content violating its "hate speech" policies.

Despite Meta’s policies prohibiting "praise, support, and representation of white nationalism and white separatism," these accounts had previously operated without censorship until Tuesday.

Fuentes has also drawn the ire of President Trump. In 2022, after Fuentes arrived at Mar-a-Lago with rapper Kanye West, Trump warned "nobody" who has the "the wrong and ill about people" has a place in the America First movement or the Republican Party.

But Instagram’s recent actions reflect a broader pattern of Big Tech’s selective enforcement.

While the platform has been criticized for promoting explicit content, including from OnlyFans creators, it swiftly clamps down on political speech deemed too edgy.

The left’s censorship machine is still in full swing, picking and choosing who gets to speak and profit on its platforms while turning a blind eye to their own contradictions.

Instagram’s happy to push porn stars and "mattress actresses," but when it comes to Fuentes’ political rants, the ban hammer drops faster than you can say "First Amendment."

This is the world we live in, where free speech is a privilege for the approved and a crime for the controversial.
