Twitter takes shots at Instagram on their own platform Twitter has decided to step up its troll game on the company\u2019s official Instagram account, calling out the photo and video-based social media site over nabbed screenshots. On September 4, 2019 Twitter began posting screenshots of tweets on its Instagram page. The first of which was a tweet that reads, \u201cInstagram is literally just screenshots of tweets and I think @Twitter should call them out.\u201d Surprisingly, Twitter obliged, and indeed called out the Facebook-owned platform, and also updated their bio on the site to just read \u201cScreenshots of Tweets.\u201d The other posts appear to be generic tweets screengrabbed and uploaded. It\u2019s unclear if Twitter asked the users for their permission before using their tweets on Instagram. Meanwhile, Instagram\u2019s official Twitter account hasn\u2019t answered back. But we wouldn\u2019t be shocked to see the platform strike back in some capacity, after all, Twitter is mocking them on their own platform.

While the two sites do cater to two different audiences with the latter being acquired by Facebook, both have remained key components of internet culture since their inception with no signs of that stopping.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
