A perfunctory search for Carlson failed to turn up his verified account. Instead, impersonators and fan accounts flooded the results. After multiple tries, it appeared clear that Carlson's verified account would only appear if his exact handle, @TuckerCarlson, was entered into the search bar.

Upon finding Carlson's account, DeGroot found that Instagram put up one last barrier to engagement, imploring prospective followers to reconsider.

The pop-up reads, "Are you sure you want to follow tuckercarlson?"

"This account has repeatedly posted false information that was reviewed by independent fact-checkers or it went against our Community Guidelines," added the pop-up.

Blaze News did not encounter similar warning messages when test-following the accounts of various liberal personalities and publications, which have been outed peddling falsehoods and manufactured narratives.

Only conservatives lie. Liberals are saints and angles.

Yeah, how much do you want to bet that the independent fact-checkers work for Media Matters?

Well he is insane and does spread bullshite quite a bit.

But I agree that they could put those warnings up a shite ton for liberal accounts, but they won't.

Oh? I'm not so certain of that. I would go so far as to postulate the existence of a symbiosis.

I really dislike these people and am tiring of having to coexist with them.

I don’t think Assange is interested in releasing info that hurts democrats. Why else would he still be sitting on the Seth Rich info?

If there was an option to tell the originator of that message to frick off and force them to read and acknowledge it I might consider going back to social media.
