LIVE: Indian Army Allows Soldiers To Use Instagram, But There's A Catch | Vantage with Palki Sharma

India’s Army is rewriting its social media playbook. Soldiers can now access Instagram — but only in view-only mode. No posting, liking, commenting or reacting is allowed. The shift comes after years of tight restrictions, including a 2020 order to delete 89 apps like Instagram and Facebook. The goal? Boost digital awareness while protecting national security, and staying relevant to Gen Z youth who live online. What does this mean? And what other rules do armies across the globe follow? Palki Sharma tells you.
