Instagram bans. What should be done to avoid blocking? Part 2.0

Let's continue the topic of saving your account on Instagram.

4. It is prohibited to promote and sell anything that is illegal on Instagram (offering sexual services, buying/selling firearms, online games for real money, etc.).

Example: Medical company X decided to sell pharmaceutical products on Instagram. What they didn't count on was, the Instagram account would be blocked for the sale of prescription medications. Even if in a specific region this drug is over-the-counter.

5. You cannot publish content on Instagram that contains real threats to someone, hostile statements, as well as materials that may humiliate or offend a certain person.

Example: Ilona has her own store of stylish women's clothing. She started a heading "wardrobe analysis" to increase engagement on Instagram: were posted a photo of how you shouldn't dress and a photo of a model stylishly dressed in clothes from Ilona's store. And it could be fine, but the photos of bad examples were taken without consent of people which are on them. And after one of the heroines of the heading saw her photo with criticism under it, she was offended and reported Ilona's account. The bottom line is clear - the Instagram account was disabled.

6. Account can be disabled if the author publish something encouraging or promoting self-injury, which includes suicide and cutting.

Example: Coffee company "F" decided to joke and posted 10 ways to punish themselves for forgetting to buy their coffee. Among other things, there were references to self-injury (such as biting one's tongue, for example). The social network did not take the joke. The account was disabled.
