If you search for 'Mega Drive' on Facebook or Instagram, you might find you're out of luck, as it appears that parent company Meta is suppressing the term following concerns about child exploitation.
As spotted by Twitter user @dodgykebaab, typing the term "Japanese Mega Drive" into Facebook Marketplace results in the following warning:
We think that your search might be associated with child sexual abuse. Child sexual abuse or viewing sexual imagery of children can lead to imprisonment and other severe personal consequences. This abuse causes extreme harm to children and searching and viewing such material adds to that harm.

The same warning appears when searching for "Mega Drive" on the photo and video-sharing site Instagram:
It's not known why Meta is taking action against this particular search term, but it could be related to the use of the upload site Mega for sharing offensive and exploitative material relating to minors.
We've reached out to Meta for comment and will update this story when we hear back.
