Instagram wrongly accuses some users of breaching child sex abuse rules

Instagram users faced wrongful bans over child sex abuse rules, causing "extreme stress" for many. More than 100 affected users reported loss of earnings, memories, and mental health issues due to these unjust bans. Meta, the parent company of Instagram, acknowledged the problem but denied widespread issues. Despite numerous wrongful bans, affected users like David and Faisal had their accounts quickly reinstated after media intervention, bringing relief but also concerns about the ban's impact on their reputation and mental well-being.
