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.

Sounds like a good time to make Mr Beast aware of these, he has a lot of disposable income to burn on a lawsuit or three.

If 500m could take down Meta, I bet we could crowd fund that shit. Someone set up a GoFundMe!

500M in EU lobbying...?

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.

Have you tried reporting them for copyright or trademark infringement? I don't think their legal department would be ok with it.
