Following a purge of 142 meme accounts last week -- who have collectively amassed millions of followers on their Instagram pages that curate and re-share viral posts from elsewhere across the web -- the Facebook-owned platform is looking to hire a go-between for creators in the contentious space.
An Instagram spokesperson previously stated that the most recent round of meme accounts "were disabled following violations of our policies, including attempted abuse of our internal processes” -- though no further explanation has been publicly provided, nor has the option for account holders to right any alleged wrongs, reports The Atlantic.
But now, in response to memer uproar, Instagram is looking to hire its first-ever strategic partnerships manager to focus on meme accounts and other social-based media entities that it calls "digital publishers," according to The Atlantic.

The Simpsons repeats will start airing on Disney’s Freeform in September. The network will have access to all 30 seasons of the series that will have already aired on the series’ primary network, Fox, which recently renewed it for Seasons 31 and 32. The announcement was made as part of Disney’s upfront press conference.
At the same event, FX Networks CEO John Landgraf said that the company’s Simpsons World online site will close down once The Simpsons launches on Disney+.
FX Networks landed full library rights (including digital) to The Simpsons in 2013 in a ground-breaking deal for Fxx and FXNow.
I hear Fxx will remain the main Simpsons off-network cable home, airing 50 hours of repeats a week vs. 10 for Freeform. The agreement is similar to the one the two new corporate siblings recently struck for another Fox/20th TV animated staple, Family Guy.

“The Simpsons” will begin off-network airing on Freeform in September 2019, the network announced Tuesday.
Still airing new episodes on Fox, at least through 2020-21, “The Simpsons” will now rerun episodes from all 30 seasons of Matt Groening’s animated family comedy on the cabler.
Previously “The Simpsons” ran off-network on Fxx, which has also been the streaming home for the show, having landed the full library rights in 2013. Fxx and its parent company FX Networks, in addition to 20th Century Fox Television (which produces “The Simpsons”), became a part of Disney earlier this year; Freeform is also under the Disney umbrella. Freeform also shares off-network rights to “Family Guy,” another one of Fox’s long-running, hit animated comedies, with Fxx. Last month, it was announced that “The Simpsons” would have a new streaming home on Disney Plus when that new service launches in November 2019.
