Not a ban story, just a PSA. Apparently someone found a hole in Meta's AI support flow this spring and used it to take over around 20k Instagram accounts.

Hacked accounts are one of the most common ways people on here end up disabled in the first place (hacker posts junk, YOU get the ban). So take 2 minutes: - Accounts Center > Password and security > Two-factor authentication. authenticator app if you can - save the backup codes somewhere that isn't your phone - make sure the email on the account is one you can still get into, and put 2FA on that too - request a Download Your Information every few months while you're at it that's it. stay safe
