Many claim they’ve done nothing wrong, yet find themselves locked out of their accounts without warning. Frustrated users say appeals and ID submissions have been ignored, leaving them without answers or access.

Some allege they were banned for serious violations like child exploitation content — accusations they strongly deny, warning of lasting reputational harm. “This is ruining my business,” said one fitness influencer who relies on Instagram for income.

As affected users cry out for justice, the controversy raises fresh concerns about the risks of relying on automated systems for content and behavior policing.
