Somebody had left a comment “they’re not gonna make smart cities” so I had replied with a YouTube link to a video titled: LA’s Smart City Strategy – SmartLA 2028. A video posted by LA CityView35 where Ted Ross, the chief information officer, discusses their plans to build to smart cities by 2028 in time for the 2028 Olympics that will be hosted in LA. My comment was removed because it “may try to get likes, follows, shares or video views in a misleading way”. Obviously it’s an infringement on our first amendment rights, but it’s Instagrams policies, yeah yeah. My question is if they’re trying to present smart cities as a good thing why did they remove a link to an advertisement they created and put out? It just gives a bad look in my opinion, especially because I didn’t express any personal opinions about the topic. I was only trying to inform the person that left the comment that they in fact are working on smart cities and are pronouncing it themselves. One more thing I’ll add, I find it very strange all the cities they plan to turn into smart cities have been burnt down by wildfires. Maui, Hawaii/Santiago, Chile/ Los Angeles, California.

Look at this constitutional scholar.
Private message them? Censor just proved you’re over the target. Yep it’s a landgrab. City working (disguised as too many willful incompetence) with oligarchs to run ppl out of town.
“Obviously it’s an infringement on our first amendment rights, ”
You sure you want to go with this idea?
Sometimes obvious infringements are only obvious due to misunderstanding the actors, the law and the situation. Reading the Amendment for understanding can help.

“The First Amendment protects speech from government censorship. But what about free speech on social media?
Social media platforms are private companies and are [not bound by the First Amendment](https://www.freedomforum.org/social-media-regulation-first-amendment/). In fact, they have their own First Amendment rights. This means they can moderate the content people post on their websites without violating those users’ First Amendment rights. It also means that the government cannot tell social media sites how to moderate content. Many state laws to [regulate how social media companies can moderate content](https://www.freedomforum.org/government-regulation-social-media/) have failed on First Amendment grounds.”
Los Angeles is more than 80 cities as far.as.i know it’s only the hills burning
