German social media influencer lizlz (Lizlaz) is making a lot of headlines in India these days. The reason is cricket star Virat Kohli. It is being said that Virat Kohli recently liked a bold photoshoot picture of Lizalz from his Instagram account. As soon as this news came out, there was a stir on social media. However, Virat Kohli has not yet given any official response on this matter.
This is not the first time that Virat Kohli has been stuck in such a controversial situation. Same thing happened once last year also. Then Virat had liked the Instagram picture of a girl named Avneet Kaur. When it started being discussed, Virat clarified that it was not his fault. He claimed that Instagram’s algorithm (the app’s system) registers likes by mistake while cleaning the feed. But the question arises, can Instagram really like a post without the user’s knowledge?
Possibility of accidental like on Instagram
Yes, it is possible that when we scroll on Instagram, sometimes we accidentally double tap on a post, thereby liking the post. If someone immediately removes (unlikes) that like, the notification may disappear immediately. According to the report of a website Alphr.com, if you like a post and then immediately unlike it, then it takes some time for the other person to get the notification. In such a situation, many times other users do not even know that someone had liked their post and then removed it.
What happened in the case of Virat Kohli?
On Thursday night, news spread on social media that Virat Kohli has liked a bold picture of German influencer Lieselz. This news once again sparked discussion. It is not yet clear whether Virat liked the song intentionally or whether it was a glitch in the algorithm. Social media users also made fun of this. A Reddit user wrote, ‘Anushka Sharma will be very angry now.’ Another jokingly advised, ‘Chiku Bhai (Virat), now create a private Instagram account.’ Another user sarcastically called it an ‘accidentally recorded conversation’.
effect of previous case
After the Avneet Kaur incident last year, Virat Kohli had written while clarifying, ‘I want to clear that while clearing the feed, the algorithm accidentally recorded an interaction. I had no intention behind this. Please do not spread unnecessary rumours. But his statement became the cause of even more discussion and memes. Many people were not ready to accept it completely.
