Just yesterday, we reported a story on Instagram banning the use of “#EDM” as a hashtag on their social media app. Citing that the popular hashtag consistently violated the company’s terms of use, the bold move brought confusion to the dance music community including ourselves here at RTT.
For whatever reason Instagram announced today they had reversed the ban, bringing back (most of) the millions of tagged “#EDM” pictures to their site. Did the EDM community’s backlash cause a sudden change of heart? Or perhaps Instagram realized there were more pressing issues than the use of a hashtag describing a certain type of music. Let us know your thoughts below.
