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.

You still using Instagram! In 2024

I guess I am the only who thought that everyone has moved on from Instagram.

[-] Faresh@lemmy.ml 5 points 7 months ago

Where did the people that use instagram move to?

As a photographer I have tried every alternative I'm aware of. Insta is still king for image sharing, which is... Nuts, to say the least.

I'd also love to hear where they supposedly moved to.

There's pixelfed, but you're unlikely to get a following there.

At this point I'm convinced meta either gets paid under the table to keep that shit, or (probably more likely) they make so much money off of the sheer volume of ai scam ads that they just don't care.

They're also pretty cool with Nazi's now too, Meta is a garbage company

Translation: These ads make us lots of money.

Each time I see "Meta's product didn't remove reported malicious post" I just think that this is valid punishment for user and their ego for wasting their time on these shitty platforms. 😅

Had to double check if it was the onion...

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 7 points 7 months ago

Oh hey another site that looks at reports and just bans the reporter....

Instagram owned by the Reddit people?

[-] BetaSalmon@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

I’ve been reporting ads on Instagram as spam for over a year now. Every single ad I see gets reported. Occasionally I get a report that says the ad has been deleted.

[-] ZambiblasianOgre@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Instagram is a cancerous cesspit.

[-] set_secret@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago
