Instagram Disabled My Account-No 2

If you saw my video on Friday you know that I woke up and discovered that Instagram disabled my account and I have no idea why.

The message is that I have violated their terms of service, but I've read through them, and I definitely haven't. I've never had one report that any content or comment was flagged or reported.

I spent the weekend doing research on this, and it turns out that this has been happening to A LOT of people. I think the statistic was that 85% of the accounts never violated any of the terms. It can take hours-months to get your account back. For one person, it took 8 months of filing a report every day with Instagram.

I'm honestly not so worried about the account itself, but I regret never downloading my content because I can't get that back. When I first started my IG account, it was personal, so I have a lot of pictures of my kids when they were younger on it that are now gone.

Yesterday, I spent a few minutes and downloaded my personal & business content off of Facebook. You want to back it up like you would do your computer.

I HIGHLY recommend you all to do this too.

No one is immune to being randomly shut down and you don't want to lose any of your memories.
