The social media Instagram suddenly had a large number of accounts suspended today (31st) night.
Instagram said on Twitter that it was investigating the incident and apologized to users.
In addition to ordinary users, some "KOLs" have also suffered. "Travel KOLs" Xiaosi pointed out in a Facebook post that he can no longer use Instagram.
Later, he told "Hong Kong 01" that his account was blocked by Instagram in mid-October, and he was unblocked after verification.
But this time his account was deleted, he was not worried that the account could not be restarted, but the "clearing" of the conversation records and the drop in the number of followers would bring him incalculable losses, and it is estimated that he would lose four-digit number of followers.
He believes that the same accident will continue to happen in the future, so he can only seek more happiness for himself and consider the backup plan in advance, "Because it is not the first time, I believe there will be a second time in the future."

Stoudemire was blocked once in mid-October
Travel KOL Xiaosi told "Hong Kong 01" that an Instagram update had been circulated on the Internet a month ago in order to freeze the fake account. After that, his account was frozen in mid-October. After one day, the account can be unblocked after various authentications. But that night, it was almost impossible to meet up with friends who regularly use Instagram to meet up.
He pointed out that there were different unblocking teachings on the Internet at that time, and he believed that it was not a single incident. It is estimated that after posting an interesting post, a large number of users privately chatted at the same time, and the AI system misjudged it as a problem account.
Stoudemire pointed out that the freezing of Instagram accounts has had multiple impacts on KOLs, including a drop in the number of followers, as the accounts of some fans or followers may also be frozen; customer advertising posts will also disappear.
In addition, the conversation record will also be "cleared", the ongoing negotiation with the customer is interrupted, and the customer may not even be retrieved, or the customer who has cooperated in the past may not be worth the loss.

I believe that the accident will happen again in the future, take precautions and consider the backup plan
However, this time the level is upgraded, from freezing the account to deleting the account, and it can no longer be unblocked through verification like the last time.
Stoudemire said that Instagram had just announced an investigation into the incident and had to wait for the account to be reactivated.
But he admitted that after this battle, when the client seeks cooperation through Instagram, he will immediately ask for other contact methods; if the client requests the advertisement to be posted on Instagram, a backup plan must be negotiated in advance, "Because it is not the first time, I believe There will be a second time in the future.”
If you don't quit Instagram, you'll lose four-digit followers
Stoudemire said that even if the Instagram account is reopened, it is estimated that it will lose four-digit followers.
When asked if he will focus on other social platforms, he believes that Instagram has a large number of users, and it is difficult to convert as a KOL.
"Others will use whatever you point. If you want to turn around, you can't choose. Only every time you get banned, you have to work hard to save yourself."
In the evening of today (31st), a large number of accounts were suddenly suspended on Instagram.
