If you use the app there’s no blocking it sadly. What people should start doing it’s stop using that platform all together
I use an alternative side-loaded Instagram app called Instander which blocks ads and comes with other nice features. I don't use the platform much anyhow, but when I do it makes the experience actually tolerable.
No, what people should start doing is demanding that governments actually enforce the law against Facebook for acting as an accomplice to the myriad crimes the article discusses. Facebook should be dissolved and executives should go to prison.
ReVanced says they support removing timeline ads from Instagram. I don't use Instagram, so I haven't tested it, though.
Pihole oughta do it.
PiHole doesn't work when ads and legitimate content are both served from same domain.
That is true, didn't think about that.
People use the app, have their info exploited and than complain this is the only way to use a service that is exploiting your clicks, and yet, you don't stop using it, really weird.
eh, I'm a photographer/videographer. sadly I more or less need to use it if I want anyone to find me...
