University of Wisconsin-Madison Censored Animal-Rights Activist on Instagram and Facebook–Krasno v. UWM
Krasno is a critic of University of Wisconsin-Madison’s treatment of animals. She commented on UWM’s Instagram and Facebook posts. UWM’s social media managers hid her comments manually; some of her comments were blocked by UWM’s keyword filters. Prior blog post.

Eventually, UWM restricted Krasno’s Instagram account (which automatically hid her comments) “because she had a consistent pattern of off-topic comments.” UWM later lifted this restriction.
