Error message when trying to view an Instagram post sent from a friend: “If this page is not displaying as expected, you can reduce advanced privacy protections which may resolve issues”.

No, I don’t think I will.

this is a Safari message to disable its advanced filtering protection, which can slow down sites.

The developer of StopTheMadness suggests to disable it completely in Safari settings:

It is. I hate Meta, but this isn’t them. This appears on any site that isn’t loading properly.

I’ll third this. I get this message on just about every website.

I will once again shill for Proxigram (not my project), the only? remaining FOSS instagram frontend. You can try it out on one of the public instances.

I'm not entirely sure if it supports opening Instagram links though.

Anybody wire up a Proxigram to Fedi scraper for various accounts?

Public safety, fire department and several others I miss, NOAA, earthquake etc...

I’m not so sure that’s an Instagram message and more an iOS thing. I’ve seen it before and I’ve never used Instagram. It happens on many sites.

Oh shit - good to know!

That’s how you know the privacy protections are working. Meta won’t let you in if they can’t identify you well enough to sell your data.

It's a transaction:

Your privacy for access.

Quiet part out loud.

I think you should stop using Instagram.

I think these privacy protections should not plain out block data from sites like Facebook and or instagram, they should just feed them bogus nonsense data.
