No, Instagram did not comment the Zohran Mamdani account for being a “very socialist”

In a story published earlier this week, a site entitled “NYC Journals” claimed that it contains a bomb: that Instagram has suspended the novel of the mayor’s candidate in New York Zahran Mamdani for being “very socialist”.

The story He claimed that Mamdani’s account has decreased for three hours; He also cited a “leakage note” from inside Instagram, which said that his content had gone against American national interests. The article is amazingly detailed – it includes quotes attributed to Mamdani itself, in addition to the “political communications expert”, who is deported by the platforms of technology control of political discourse. It will be a huge story in a race that was already sudden and controversial.

The problem, of course, is that it is incorrect.

The article was published on social media platforms such as Bluesky, Reddit, Mastodon, X, and re -publish, likes, and comments. But Meta Ryan Daniels spokesman confirmed that there is no such memorandum or restrictions at the Mamdani account. A spokeswoman for the Mamdani campaign confirmed the role of Picke freedom The article, the statement attributed to Mamdani, and the suspension of the account are all fake.

NYC Journals does not have many details about the port, and the fake story is attributed to the general “NYC Journals”. Elsewhere on the site, he claims that his information is “painful with countless sources and facts that have been accurately examined.” It is not clear where or how the story began to spread, but it was captured by a handful of other websites that suddenly emerge and disappear at the same speed. NYC magazines did not list a way to contact the site for comment.

Although Mamdani is working in local elections, his candidacy caught the national attention. After Mamdani became the supposed democratic candidate in June, Donald Trump It seems to support False allegations that Mamdani was in the United States “illegally.” The other Republicans have He called for Mamdani to be deported. Mamdani is a naturalized American citizen. This is not the first false story It was distributed during the race for the mayor – It is likely not to be the last.
