Instagram users in N. Korea warned site put on blacklist
PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) — Warnings are appearing on Instagram accounts in North Korea that claim access to the popular photo-sharing app is being denied and the site blacklisted for harmful content.
[...] warnings have also appeared when websites that link to Instagram are accessed through desktops or laptops using LAN cables on the North Korean Internet provider.
[...] even live-streaming video had been posted using the new Twitter app Periscope.
Besides Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites were also functioning normally.
While I'm unaware of this recent shift in policy toward blocking Instagram, I hope this will be a temporary policy as it's been a great tool for our company to show prospective travelers what our tours are like and to get people motivated in traveling there.
