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.

      As in child sexual abuse material. It’s pretty rampant on Instagram where they like to ‘hide’ under certain tags.

        Can you be more specific? Like AI generated 17 year olds, or real photos of some 3 year old kid in someone’s dungeon? There’s a big difference.

          Both are children… So why does it matter? In USA under 18 is classified as a minor/child regardless if it is generated or not still illegal
