Instagram finds that AI Mr beast scams do not go against community guidelines. (lemmy.world)

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.

Man. I blocked them with my pihole because I got tired of max volume jump scares whenever I clicked on a link to their. Guess it's staying blocked indefinitely.

Meta's "guidelines" are basically: does this content somehow stop us from making money?

The answer is generally no. If people stopped using the platform because of its poor handling of these kinds of situations, I guess that would affect them. Maybe?

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.

I don't think any report I've ever made on a social media platform has ever been accepted. I once reported an account on tiktok named "[swastika symbol] FATHERLAND [swastika symbol]" that posted holocaust denial and genocidal content and got back "no violation detected". The same is true when I reported similar accounts on twitter (even pre-musk), and Facebook. I don't even know what the point of the report feature on those sites is, I've never even heard of it working.

The FAANG looking the other way as usual.
