Instagram finds that AI Mr beast scams do not go against community guidelines.

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.

I've reported Nazis, violent threats, and literal child pornography on Instagram that then told me it didn't go against their guidelines.

I read between the lines: this is the content they support, so it's not a platform for me.

I don't think you understand how hard and resource-intensive it is to fight against the nipple crowd. I for one am grateful that they chose to do something about the real issues ! Yes, a world with free nazis is kind of a bother, but most of us would survive. Can you imagine the horror of a world with free nipples ? We would all be doomed, that's for sure. /big s

But sexualized breastfeeding content that is borderline CSAM is a-ok lol

Same... "this huge anal horse dildo does not break our marketplace guidelines"

But if you make a clear joke in a joke group, you get flagged and can't get it reviewed.

Actual child porn? How do you mean?

As in child sexual abuse material. It's pretty rampant on Instagram where they like to 'hide' under certain tags.

Porn with actual children.

Can you be more specific? Like AI generated 17 year olds, or real photos of some 3 year old kid in someone's dungeon? There's a big difference.

Both are children... So why does it matter? In USA under 18 is classified as a minor/child regardless if it is generated or not still illegal

Did you report the CP to the police?

No usually I report it to NCMEC who has better resources to deal with it. Cops very rarely care or are able to do anything.
