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.

    You’re probably right, but as a thought exercise, imagine how many people you would need to hire across multiple regions, and what sort of salary these people deserve to have, given the responsibility. That’s why these companies don’t want to pay for it, and anyone that has worked this kind of data entry work will know that it can be brutal.

    IMO, governments should enforce it, but that requires a combined effort across multiple governments.
