Love was in the air this week, but did you know it could get you banned on Instagram as well?

According to social media expert Nic Fren of Bespoke Media, using the #valentinesday hashtag is enough to get you in trouble with the social media platform.

"Many don't realise that Instagram has a list of hashtags that can result in you being shadowbanned if you use them, he says.

Some are fairly straightforward as the app is trying to put in proactive measure to enforce its Community Guidelines, while others just seem odd.

By blocking certain hashtags, the platform ensures that content circulating on its network remains within the boundaries of acceptable social behavior.

This helps prevent the spread of spam, graphic material, and any form of hateful language
