Hailey Bailey is an American anti-Trump and anti-ICE TikToker with 17 million followers on TikTok. She previously participated in skit videos about Indian food, where she prepared it in a dramatic way and also spit into the food, suggesting that Indian food is dirty. She is now reportedly deleting comments questioning her about the incident and heavily moderating the comments on her videos, unless someone bypasses the filtered words.

What does this mean? Far left = far right, at least in the Indian context.

I don't care whether this post gets removed or not, but I'll still say this.

Some Indians in England seem to be trying to form alliances with elements of the English far-right. Last year, British police released a document claiming that some far-right groups were taking inspiration from Hindu nationalism. I believe that characterization is misleading and unfounded. The same report also suggested that some people associated with Hindu nationalism were forming alliances with sections of the far-right. While I don't agree with how it characterizes Hindu nationalism, I do think that, in some cases, such alliances have existed.

Why are we doing this? Why are some Indians aligning themselves with people who target minorities and immigrants?

It's not that the English far-right generally likes Indians. Rather, a small fringe within the far-right particularly supporters of people like Tommy Robinson sometimes claims to be supportive of Hindus and Sikhs. But this is a very small faction, and that position is fundamentally wrong. Every minority and every immigrant deserves respect, not just Hindus or Sikhs.

The broader far-right movement in England has often expressed hostility toward immigrants, including Indians.

The next time you see Indians boasting or caring so much about the England grooming gang issue, remember this: there is no publicly available evidence showing that Pakistani men as a whole are responsible. It is not Pakistanis, nor Indians as a group. Broad claims like these are propaganda, and you're only embarrassing yourself if you align with that rhetoric.

My account was suspended and permanently disabled. To be honest, every time my account gets suspended, it eventually comes back on its own. This was the 11th time my account was suspended and the 3rd time it was permanently disabled. You won't believe it even a permanently disabled account came back in exactly 12 days, which is much faster than when my account is stuck in the appeal process. When my account is in the appeal process, it usually comes back after around 40 days, or sometimes 44 or 37 days.

This time, my account was permanently disabled, and I was terrified. I purchased Meta Verified, and they told me they had transferred my case. However, since then, it has remained stuck in the review process. They are also no longer responding in the support chat. They did respond for a few days, but now my chat seems to be in a long sleep mode. They neither view my messages nor reply when I ask for updates. No one is responding in the chat.

Meanwhile just as the 12th day was about to be completed, my account came back. I don't think it was because of Meta Verified, perhaps the system simply cooled down. If my account had actually been recovered through Meta Verified, someone in the support chat would have responded and closed the support ticket immediately, but that never happened this time but in the past it worked.

These are the steps I have followed every time my account gets suspended or permanently disabled:

1. Meta Verified: Sometimes it works, and my account has been restored in as little as 3 days.

2. GAC: I'm not certain whether this helps, but whenever my account gets permanently disabled after being stuck in the appeal process, I file an appeal through the GAC platform. I can't say for sure whether it makes a difference, but the restoration time seems to have reduced to around 12 days.

3. Created an Instagram clone app: I immediately logged this account into an Instagram clone app on the same device and kept it separate from my other accounts. My other accounts remained logged into the original Instagram app.

4. Tried the hacked account recovery method: Instead of using the "Forgot Password" option, I uploaded the head movement selfie video and reported that my account had been hacked. My account had actually been compromised, and someone appeared to have used a sophisticated method possibly session hijacking to gain access. I tried that selfie thing even on the 2nd or 3rd alternate day.

This is my standard process when my account gets suspended or disabled.

Hi there,

I have separated my Threads account from Instagram and made it independent in the Threads Account Center.

I can now see several options. For example, I can change my username, display name, and other profile settings. Will these now be completely independent of my Instagram account?

Also, I noticed that the only contact information in my Threads Account Center is my mobile number. Email can't be added. It shows success and then no addition of email. Is this the same for everyone, or is it a bug? It does appear to give me an option to add an email.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to share how I finally recovered my Instagram account after it had been suspended 11 times. On the 9,10 and 11th suspension, my account was even permanently disabled.

The strange thing is that, over the last few months, Instagram has repeatedly restored my account after review, but about a month later it gets suspended again, as if the previous decision is being overridden. I still don't know what's causing this.

In June 3, I also received a security alert. It looked like a very sophisticated type of account compromise. Someone apparently changed my password while I hadn't accessed my account for several hours. I was logged out, but after regaining access, I found that none of my account information had been changed. Even stranger, I could still log in using the same password, as if nothing had happened.

Another odd thing is that whenever I request a password reset email, Instagram addresses the email to a completely different username(see attached screenshot) instead of mine. That username belongs to an active Instagram account with over 100,000 followers. After doing some research, I found discussions linking that account to activities involving hacked or disabled Instagram accounts. I found it very suspicious.

My profile picture is only an avatar, not my real photo. I also suspect coordinated mass reporting may be involved because every time my account is suspended, Instagram eventually restores it after the cool down period.

Here are the things I tried:

- Till 10th suspension, Meta Support said they couldn't forward my case.

- On the 11th suspension, a Meta representative said my account was eligible for escalation and forwarded it internally.

- I filed three appeals through India's Grievance Appellate Committee (GAC).

- I repeatedly used Instagram's "My account was hacked" recovery flow and submitted video selfie verification every few days.

- I also installed a cloned Instagram app on the same phone and kept the disabled account logged in there.

I'm honestly not sure which of these, if any, actually helped. Meta Support never confirmed the outcome, and they stopped responding in the chat. My account simply came back on its own.

If you've experienced something similar or have any idea why Instagram keeps suspending and then restoring the same account, I'd really like to hear your thoughts.

My Instagram account is finally back. Since November 2, 2025, it has been suspended 11 times. Out of those suspensions, six were for account integrity, one was for spam, one was for dangerous individuals and organizations, and most recently it was suspended three times for account integrity. It was also permanently disabled.

I noticed that during the first eight suspensions, my account was never permanently disabled. Instead, it remained stuck in the appeal process for long periods sometimes 32 days, 38 days, 40 days, 42 days, or even 44 days. However, after my account was permanently disabled(3 times), the review period became much shorter. Every account is suspended and disabled since then has taken exactly 12 days before my account was restored.

I believe my account has been repeatedly targeted through coordinated fake reports. When multiple people report an account together, Instagram's AI appears to be very vulnerable, allowing bad actors with some cybersecurity knowledge to exploit the system. As a result, my account has been suspended repeatedly, especially the 11th time. Eventually, something seems to override the AI's decision, and my account is restored, although I do not know exactly what triggers that.

On June 3, someone repeatedly attempted to take over my account. When I tried to regain access, Instagram sent me a verification code, but the email greeted someone else's username instead of mine.(As you can see in the screenshot) That username belongs to an active Instagram account with more than 100,000 followers. However, after I regained access to my account, I found that none of my account information had been changed. This happened multiple times over several days, and I was even able to log in using the same password as before. This makes me believe it was a very sophisticated type of hacking attempt.

Here are the things I tried:

1. Meta Verified Support

I contacted Meta Verified support several times. Initially, they kept telling me that my account was not eligible for another review and that they could not forward my case. This time, however, they informed me that my account was eligible for another review and transferred my case. Even though my account has already been restored, the support page still shows that my account is under review, and no support agent is responding to the chat. Therefore, I am not sure whether Meta Verified played any role in restoring my account.

2. Filing a Complaint with GAC

I also submitted a complaint through the GAC portal. I am unsure whether this helped. Around the third suspension, the review period became much shorter only 12 days but I cannot say with certainty whether this was because of the GAC complaint or simply because my account has always been restored after each suspension.

3. Verification Selfie Method

I used Instagram's hacked account recovery method. Every three days, I uploaded a verification selfie through my browser, pretending that my account had been hacked. Although my account had experienced hacking attempts in the past, I repeatedly used this recovery method during each suspension.

4. Meta AI Assistant

I also used the Meta AI Assistant on Instagram every day to see whether it could help. On one occasion, it claimed that my review had been approved. However, the response appeared to be AI generated text that did not seem accurate or reliable, so I do not believe it actually reflected the status of my account.

5. I made the Instagram Clone App in the same device

I noticed this has helped my truly. Making a clone app and letting your, account stay there even if it is suspended or disabled whatever for the moment it was appealed or disabled.

I would like to say that I believe someone is continuously attempting to have my account suspended through coordinated fake reports. Every time my account is suspended, it eventually comes back on its own. I am not sure why this keeps happening. One possible reason is that I do not use my real profile photo and instead use an avatar, which may cause Instagram's AI to incorrectly assume that my account is not authentic. Now that my account has been restored, I plan to change my profile picture to a real one.

After trying all of these methods, I still do not know which one, if any, actually worked. It is entirely possible that my account was simply restored on its own after Instagram completed its review or system to cool down.

WTF!! There is something seriously wrong with my Instagram account, or maybe this is a much bigger issue and Instagram simply doesn't care.

​

My account has been receiving email notifications from Instagram's official email address, and everything mentioned in those emails matches what is happening inside the Instagram app. I even received an email saying that my Instagram account was locked and that I needed to change my password. At first, I ignored it, but the app showed the exact same warning. Eventually, I changed my password.

​

Since then, I've been getting multiple emails about my email address being updated. The strange part is that the email address mentioned is already mine and has always been attached to the account. So why am I receiving "email updated" notifications?

​

One of the biggest concerns is this: Instagram keeps addressing me as "Hi haozhiplus" in these emails. That is NOT my Instagram username. Who is this person? Why is Instagram contacting me about my account while identifying me with someone else's username?

​

I looked into it and found that this username is actually active on Instagram and has more than 100k followers. I also checked other sources and found that other people are experiencing the same issue. Is this some kind of internal bug? I find it hard to believe that Instagram would be linking my account to an active account that belongs to someone else.

​

My only theory is that this could be related to some kind of account compromise or exploit. I've received multiple emails about unusual activity, and today my account was suspended.

​

Just imagine if there were accounts on Instagram dedicated solely to account takeovers, attacks, or other malicious activities. If that's what's happening, then Meta and Instagram are so incompetent that they're suspending legitimate users while attackers exploit weaknesses in their own platform.

​

What a "safe and secure" platform.

My Instagram account is suspended again. I'm just frustrated. Instagram is broken and how things have happened now I'm 100% sure something is wrong with Instagram moderation. The moderation is just not right and it keeps on flagging the user just because your account was suspended in the past so you can't escape this trap.

​

My id is suspended on account integrity and as always they ask for that head movement selfie and then id. One of my IDs was rejected and then I uploaded another one. They say you can hide the ID number from that document with tape or something but it doesn't accept the document even though it is right. I ended up uploading all of my IDs whatever I have. This is so scary! Imagine if somehow and someday hackers found a way to get those documents. It is for now in the appeal process and I'm a bit happy at least it is not permanently disabled or the decision is not made in seconds to disable my account permanently.

Hello people of this subreddit.

One of my Instagram accounts has been suspended around 8 or 9 times in total. Every single time it got suspended, it was eventually restored. As far as I remember, it was never permanently disabled before.

However, very recently, on April 30th, my account was permanently disabled. Days kept passing, and there seemed to be no way to recover it. I then filed an appeal through my country’s government portal called GAC, and just a few days later, my account was restored.

Now, the account that was suspended 8 or 9 times is this same account. Another account of mine was also suspended on November 2nd, 2025, and I was able to recover it through Meta Verified on March 11th, 2026. It was stuck in the appeal process for many months. Since its restoration, that account has never been suspended again.

As for the other account that got suspended multiple times, I only recently got it back. I’m using it very cautiously now not interacting too much but I’m still pretty active on it.

After controversy erupted in Norway over Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi not taking press questions and concerns about press freedom, a Norwegian newspaper depicted him as a snake charmer. Norway is known for having one of the highest levels of press freedom in the world, but many people argue that its media can be selective on certain issues and often reflects a narrow far-left political perspective. Still, its press is largely independent of government control.

This is not the first time Western media has represented India or Indians through stereotypes like snake charmers. A Spanish newspaper had previously used similar imagery, and even The New York Times once published artwork portraying India in a stereotypical manner, showing cows and royal imagery.

The depiction could either be linked to the controversy in Norway over press access during Modi’s visit, or it could reflect a broader pattern of how Modi, India’s global relations, and Indians in general are often portrayed in sections of the Western media.

India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) later organized a media briefing and interview, although many felt the questions asked were mostly trivial and the answer given was too irrelevant.

If we have to guess the questions that would be asked to PM Modi by Western Press, they would likely be about Russia, Russian oil, Muslims, Pakistan, Indian Muslims, and the China threat just to portray India as a country surrounded by problems and as a nation that badly needs the West rather than Russia or normalization of relations with China.

Some people also say that, given the level of press freedom in many Western countries, they are shocked and confused about how a prime minister can avoid taking questions from the press.

My account is back after I filed a digital complaint against Meta and Instagram for repeatedly suspending my account and eventually disabling it within seconds, with the decision also being made within seconds.

I’m from India, and I have been facing this issue since November 2, 2025. My account has been suspended repeatedly, again and again, and I never understood what violation I committed that kept causing these suspensions.

Since November 2, 2025, my account has been suspended and restored multiple times, sometimes automatically, sometimes simply after confirming my phone number, and sometimes after being stuck in the appeal process for months. This happened around 8 or 9 times, if not more. However, this time they went too far by permanently disabling my account. Earlier, it was never disabled, it was only suspended and kept under the appeal process.

I searched for various ways to resolve the issue and found that the Government of India provides a digital grievance appellate committee platform where users can submit complaints online,who are dissatisfied with the decision of the tech companies or in the digital realm. I submitted my first appeal on May 2nd of this month. Although it was submitted, it was not successfully processed because it still required confirmation for the case to go live and be forwarded. Because of that, I filed another complaint on May 6th, and that one instantly went live. A few hours later, I also received a notification saying that my first appeal had gone live as well.

On May 11th, my account was finally restored, and Instagram stated that they were wrong and that my account did follow the Community Guidelines regarding account integrity.

As for the violations, my account had been suspended on different grounds each time. To give some context, even after my account was restored, within two or three days despite being extremely cautious and barely interacting with content Instagram would suspend my account again under a new reason. This made me believe that someone may have been misusing the reporting system or that my account had been targeted through coordinated mass reporting. I’m not entirely sure why this was happening, but that is what it felt like.

That’s how I eventually got my account back. It has been a few days now, and I’m still being extremely cautious. My interaction is almost zero. I’m not commenting, liking, or saving anything. I only scroll for two or three minutes on the account.

Yeah, it was and still is really frustrating. There’s no way to prove something you never did in the first place. Of course, I’m just one person among billions of users, but it still hurts when something like this happens. Still, getting the account back was genuinely relieving and meaningful for me.

I won in presenting Instagram's repeated and psychologically exhausting allegations of suspending my account again and again, and this time they went too far by disabling my account entirely. There was no real option provided to me, and the only thing Meta Verified support could say was that they could not help me and that the decision had been made final.

I completely lost my peace of mind over something I never did. Because of this, I filed a complaint on a government registered portal that mainly deals with cases where users are dissatisfied with decisions or outcomes made by tech companies or within the digital realm.

After filing the complaint, the case remained inactive for some time. Then today, I received a message stating that my account had been restored and that it does follow the Community Guidelines. Honestly, this would not have happened if I had not filed the case on the government portal.

It feels pretty crazy sometimes that, despite coming from a third-world country and being just a normal person, my case was still taken seriously and forwarded to Meta. My case was reviewed, and eventually the account was restored.

Over time, I have started realizing that someone may be mass-reporting my account on false grounds, and the Al automation system is forced to take action. Even if the reports are fake, once they come in large numbers, the system seems to automatically suspend or disable the account.

Now I honestly do not know what to do, because my account has become more prone to suspensions and these kinds of activities. I am looking for answers for someone who could genuinely help me

I had a verbal spat with Meta Verified. Here’s how it unfolded, and what I got to know about their customer support 🤮🤮

My account is suspended, and I got this glitchy video selfie verification that never successfully uploaded. The standard process when an account is suspended is they ask for a selfie and then a government ID, but my verification selfie never uploaded successfully and never uploaded ID. Still, I received an email saying my account is disabled after review.

For the record, Instagram has been suspending my account repeatedly (not more than 8 times) since last July, and they always restored it. But this time, they have completely disabled it with their glitchy appeal process.

I talked to one of the support agents, and when she couldn’t answer my questions, she said she’d put the call on hold to look into the matter. Instead, she silently cancelled the call and then sent an automated message saying a supervisor/manager would handle it and email me(classic). Then their “supervisors” sent a generic message saying the final decision has been made.

I’ve had enough. I’ve been paying for this service since November 2, 2025, and they’re intentionally doing this. They are liars.

I contacted support again on the same case, and another agent joined and said the case was forwarded to a manager/supervisor. In fact, he lied and said they had forwarded my case 🤡🤡 I asked why Instagram is banning my other accounts too. As you can see in the screenshot, I asked him: is Instagram now suspending accounts based on location? He asked for proof. I told him to call me and he did.

On the call, he kept repeating “proof, proof, proof” like a small child. He was in full aggressive mode. I asked: how is Instagram disabling my accounts on other devices with completely different information, when the only common factor is the same location? He had no answer. Then again: “Sir, where is proof? Proof? Proof?” same wording, very rude tone.

I told him Instagram and Facebook do track locations, so they must be using that. I was speaking in the same tone as him. I won’t lie, because he was being rude, with fake politeness mixed in.

Now here’s the not so interesting part.

Why did his voice sound like he was drunk? There were sounds of cutlery falling, like food was being served or something. In the background, I clearly heard female staff with a Thai accent mimicking: “Hello, Meta Verified support,” and another saying, “Yes sir, thank you for your confirmation.”

Then loud laugh.

I’ll mention that the man had a classic Thai accent, and everything the women said could be clearly heard.it was all in Thai accent, and they were not far away from each other . If this outsourcing is being done from Thailand, it must be night there, and these *** are irritated because they have to listen to my concerns or spat at night. Who knows.

These people are not serious about their job. They know exactly what they’re doing.

Back to the call, he said my account didn’t follow community guidelines, and that’s why Instagram removed it. Then he said, “Maybe next time don’t break the rules,” in an angry tone. He told me to check the link he sent and not break the rules again.

I asked how Instagram disables accounts. Hs said, “Check the link,” while being rude. I pointed out that it says both humans and technology are involved, but everything happens within seconds so where is human involvement?

At that point, I became stubborn and kept asking: where is the proof my account violated guidelines? Which guidelines? Where’s the evidence? where is human involvement?

He went quiet.

That man sounded drunk, his voice was trembling, very odd. From the moment he called, he seemed ready to fight.

These people are looting money. I’ve cancelled my plan now. I will not fund people who are not serious about their job.

I just finished watching 60 Minutes Australia recently show about an exclusive whistleblower alleging that Meta Platforms is not doing enough to protect teens and users, including cases in New Mexico and others.

What I found is that they talked about more moderation and more removal of accounts and content. At one point, they also questioned why people are being allowed to create new accounts even after being flagged? why Meta allows this when accounts have already been identified. The context in the video was focused on predators and bad actors, but the overall message emphasized more moderation, more account removal, and more suspensions.

In this way, even if there are false positives, people may not care. If the accounts of authors, investigators, or other influential individuals or content creators are suspended due to false positives, they have leverage they can contact the media, make it big issue on the plateform from other creators and escalate the issue, and get their accounts restored. And those people don't care about us. Because of that, Meta does not seem to be concerned about false positives affecting regular users. The system struggles to understand context, and Meta appears heavily invested in removing, suspending, and disabling accounts at a very aggressive pace.

The scale of this is significant. One data point suggests that Meta has removed more than 10 million accounts in 2025-26(early). In such a system, false positives are inevitable, but they seem to be treated as acceptable collateral*.*

Just look at these figures at the below about removal statistics (2025-26):

1. 10 Million+ Fake Profiles: In early 2025, Meta removed 10 million fake profiles created for impersonating content creators.

2. 600k+ Predatory Accounts: In July 2025, Meta removed nearly 135,000 Instagram accounts for child sexual exploitation, along with 500,000 linked accounts, totaling over 635,000 in a single clampdown.

3. 150k+ Scam Networks: As of March 2026, Meta dismantled a network, removing over 150,000 accounts engaged in scams.

4. 12 Million Disruptions: In the first half of 2025, nearly 12 million accounts were disrupted across Meta's platforms (FB/IG/WhatsApp) related to criminal scam centers.

5. 500k+ Age Ban Removals: In late 2025/early 2026, approximately 350,000 Instagram accounts were expected to be removed in specific regions due to underage user restrictions.

While most of the people in these numbers are, I believe, bad actors and to implement local regulations, I would still say that many normal users are also being removed and they make up a significant portion behind these statistics.

They are paying hefty fines in American courts, and recently they paid $381 million in fines. So what do you think they will do? They will act more aggressively in removing accounts and won’t care much about whether anyone is wrongly involved.

Nowhere in the show did I find anyone clearly stating that Meta’s technology is causing false positives and wrongly banning users. Instead, the discussion focused on increasing moderation and suspensions. So from their perspective, it seems acceptable.
