Facebook has given Instagram only passing mention in its disclosures about Russian activity on its platform. During the company’s first Congressional testimony on Russian influence in November of last year, it didn’t include Instagram in its count of how many Americans were reached by Russian content until specifically asked. The photo app has a relatively untarnished brand, in part because there’s no “share” button, so content doesn’t go viral there the way it does on Facebook.
