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.

    Somehow, someone reactivated an old Facebook account of mine, which was dormant for like a decade. I reached out to Facebook support and said that someone was using my old account to post diet ads. Their response? “We see nothing wrong here, so we’re not going to do anything about it.” 🤦‍♂️
