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 reported a pic of a nazi flag with Hitler in front of it, with the caption: Hitler did nothing wrong, f**k jews.

Doesn't go against community standards.

I made a video about the struggles of children who are sexual abused, with a link to donate to a charity that helps children. Instant shadowban and no longer monetized.

All of metas moderation is done by bots, and they are terrible at moderation.

I had something like that happen.

I report death threats against me from transphobic bigots, that specifically cited me being trans as why they wanted to kill me. Reported it as hate speech and a threat of violence. "We're sorry, this does not violate community guidelines."

Later I made a self-deprecating joke about being white.

Three month ban for "Racism and Bigotry"

Facebook is a fucking joke, and not a funny one either.
