ULPT: get an Instagram and Snapchat account banned
Posted by Time_Money506@reddit | UnethicalLifeProTips | View on Reddit | 22 comments
This person has been harassing for years and no don’t say to just block them,I have but they continuously keep making fake accounts to target, they deserve to be banned off the entire platform, so far I’ve been using free follower services so Instagram can flag their account as spam but it’s not enough

doesnt matter if their account gets banned or not. they could just create a new email and a new account. your best bet is to go private under a new account with a completely new and unique username, email and avoid using a phone number during sign-up. its easy to download full backups - both services provide a "download all of my data" option.

And they’ll have to start from scratch so that’s why I want to

if theyre making burner accounts to harass you, theyre not going to give a single fuck if the account is banner, my friend. lol

It’s their personal account though that I’m targeting, I know who’s behind the accounts

If they are spinning up new accounts there is nothing you can do. I mean think about it logically? How could this POSSIBLY work?
Why don’t you just make your accounts private?

Make your account private, only followers can send you DM’s
Temporary-Lab458@reddit
You can DM any account just hit the top right and send a message if they’re private
Equal-Membership543@reddit
Instagram has the option to not receive DM requests from people that don’t follow you.

Afaik there isn’t really a way to get them banned because Instagram (not sure about snap) doesn’t really take harassment stuff seriously. You’d have to like log in to their account and start posting nudes or something for them to get banned… I would just change your username and set your account to private and set your messages to friends only
Time_Money506@reddit (OP)
Then how do many other ppl get their account banned for “no reason”, there has to be a way
nothanks1312@reddit
Honestly, I have no idea. My ig account was flagged as spam for like two months and I have no idea why, it only just cleared up like a week ago

If they’re making fake emails and stuff for it there’s no way to do it. When you block someone there’s an option to block any other accounts they create.
Make your accounts private.
If you know who they are call the police, if not make new social media accounts those are really your only options.

Do you know who the person is ? If not...
Type their username into the forgot password bit and it should show you either a few digits of their phone number or a few letters of their email address they used to set the account up. If you can match them to anybody you know then raise hell.

Bro the easiest solution to being cyber bullied is to just log off... that simple. Put your phone down
Time_Money506@reddit (OP)
Im not being cyber bullied
overuse-@reddit
Yeah man, I mean ignoring it is the best option here, it sure sounds like this person is a bully, and they are doing it on the internet.. hence the cyber bullying… it’s ok man, don’t even pay any attention to it

There’s two methods. I do not recommend you do either of them and this is for educational purposes only:
Mass reporting - many accounts report the target account for abuse images.
Verified account misuse - an account with verification and many followers (usually “high quality” paid followers) changes their profile to match the target, reports target for impersonation.
Works best for targeting accounts with <1M followers, and that aren’t verified.
DO NOT DO THIS.

What are the consequences of doing it?
_clickfix_@reddit
It costs money.
You’ll probably get scammed trying to pay someone to do it for you.
You’re breaking platform TOS and federal law, so all of the consequences that can come with that - is rarely enforced / hard to enforce but still a possibility.

Are these online accounts so sacred to you that you can't just delete them and start fresh with a new name and email?
Time_Money506@reddit (OP)
So I should delete my account with all my memories in it because someone doesn’t want to leave me alone

No, you back them up first.
