The social media platform Instagram has experienced a massive wave of user account blocks that users consider unjustified. Many blame the platform's artificial intelligence systems for the incident.

Social media platform Instagram is facing a serious problem with mass blocking of user accounts. Thousands of users worldwide report sudden access restrictions to their profiles, which they consider completely unjustified.
Reasons for blocks remain unclear
Affected users claim their accounts were blocked without any prior warning or explanation of specific violations. Many of them engage in regular social media activity: posting photos, commenting on friends' posts, and using the platform's standard features.
Role of artificial intelligence
Users' main suspicions are directed at AI-based moderation systems that Instagram actively uses for automatic violation detection. AI algorithms may mistakenly interpret content as violating community guidelines, leading to unjustified blocks.
Appeal process problems
Many users face difficulties when trying to appeal blocks. The access restoration process often takes a long time, and automatic support responses don't always help solve the problem.
Impact on businesses and creators
Content creators and small businesses that use Instagram as their main platform for promotion and earning were particularly affected by the wave of blocks. Sudden loss of access to their audience can seriously impact their income.
Recommendations for users
Experts recommend users to:
- Regularly create backups of important content
- Diversify social media presence
- Carefully study Instagram's community guidelines
- Contact support when problems arise
