How Meta: the bots think I’m a bot

A screenshot of an Instagram report. At the top is Warwick Holt's profile picture, in a greyed-out background. A pop-up window reads: "Read more about this rule Why we suspended your account We don't allow people on Instagram to create fake accounts. Examples of things we don't allow * Creating an account to bypass our rules * Using bots or other automatic means to create accounts * Hiding your identity to deliberately mislead or deceive people * Read in full Account integrity" Beneath the pop-up window, it reads: "All your information will be permanently deleted. You can not request another review of this decision."
Can't argue with that...

It took just two days for me to go from opening an Instagram account to have it shut down for impersonating myself.
