These scammers using Mr Beasts popularity, generosity, and (mostly) deep fake AI to scam people into downloading malware, somehow do not go against Instagrams community guidelines.

After trying to submit a request to review these denied claims, it appears I have been shadow banned in some way or another as only an error message pops up.

Instagram is allowing these to run on their platform. Intentional or not, this is ridiculous and Instagram should be held accountable for allowing malicious websites to advertise their scam on their platform.

For a platform of this scale, this is completely unacceptable. They are blatant and I have no idea how Instagrams report bots/staff are missing these.

    Not that this helps anyone, but I gave up Instagram the day Facebook bought it. I don’t regret it and my mental health is better for it. Using Instagram made me depressed as hell.

      I deleted Facebook a couple years ago. Instagram is my guilty pleasure for car reels and god damn dancing toothless. It seems like the end of my ig use is getting closer

        Facebook now is basically hard right wing clowns protected from repprts and boomers whinging about problems they made up. There are still holdouts (groups) that aren’t ruined but facebook is trying its best to do so.
