     Instagram says it will block hashtags being used to spread "verifiably false" information about vaccinations.

    The social network already blocks hashtags that are themselves false claims, such as #vaccinescauseautism.It says it will now block more general hashtags that are being used to spread lies by so-called anti-vaxxers.

    However, several anti-vaccine topics and accounts spreading misinformation and hoaxes are still active on Instagram.
