I've been suspended on Instagram... I wonder why?

[Stevenson Gawen]

I just discovered that my Instagram account has been suspended, due to 'violating the terms of use'.
I only have one response.
Why??? I haven't done, posted, said or even looked at anything that could be construed doubtful by any stretch of imagination. And only had it a couple of months.
To lodge a dispute they want me to write my name, username and a secret code on a piece of paper, then take and upload a selfie of me holding the paper!

Why?
I thought it was only scams that wanted that kind of convoluted nonsense.

But on the bright side I never was that keen on it anyway!

Byebye Insta - maybe...

The real reason I'm posting this is out of curiosity on your opinions on this kind of thing. What would you do?

OK... I've let off steam now!

I'd take it as omen and I certainly wouldn't follow such a ridiculous process.

I'd give them the finger and I wouldn't look back.

Tell them you don't accept their message because it wasn't in square format.

Ha! Thanks for the support, Pete, Brian and Chris. Appreciate it. Especially tickled about the square format bit.

To further vent my feelings (and have a bit of fun...) I tried to use an 'AI' at stablediffusionweb.com to produce an image of a person kicking Instagram out the door

Didn't work too well....
Not sure if that's the fault of the artificial intelligence or the real one (hopefully intelligent!) at the keyboard!

I reckon they've rigged it!
