The takedown notice by Instagram stated that the interviews that were removed included "symbols, praise, or support of people and organizations we define as dangerous".[7] An interview by Amy Goodman of Scahill was among those interviews that were taken down by Instagram. The subject of her interview of Scahill was his interviews of Hamas officials for Drop Site News.
