In a recent development, Instagram has shut down the account of physician and presidential candidate Jill Stein. After previously losing access to her original account, Stein created a new one, only for it to be disabled as well. According to Meta, the parent company of Instagram, the deactivation was due to violations of community guidelines surrounding "account integrity and authentic identity."

I still wondered why, I’ve read the story over and over again.

    Apparently it’s because she’s not supposed to have multiple accounts and they’ve unlocked the old one she lost access to already.

        Huh? She opened a new instagram account that ended with “2024” that got shut down. That one she mentions in the tweet is the original one that she lost access to. afaik she’s only got that one account now, unless you can point to another.

        (To be clear, I’m not a supporter.)

          So, as expected, a huge nothing-burger. They had a policy and enforced it in a reasonable way.

            I’m pretty sure what happened is she went to login to her account for the first time since going dark after her misappropriation of donor funds was reported in 2021, didn’t bother to go through proper channels to get something reset with instagram, made a new account and then played the victim when she got bounced by rules to prevent identity fraud.
