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.
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 you understand how hard and resource-intensive it is to fight against the nipple crowd. I for one am grateful that they chose to do something about the real issues ! Yes, a world with free nazis is kind of a bother, but most of us would survive. Can you imagine the horror of a world with free nipples ? We would all be doomed, that’s for sure. /big s
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.
Sounds like a good time to make Mr Beast aware of these, he has a lot of disposable income to burn on a lawsuit or three.
If 500m could take down Meta, I bet we could crowd fund that shit. Someone set up a GoFundMe!
These scam ads have been an issue for at least a year. I’m pretty sure they’re automated and there’s very little that can be done to trace them to their original sources. I’m sure if Mr. Beast did threaten to sue Meta, then they would just start filtering “beast” from ads.

Start by holding the ad account holder liable. When I worked in digital marketing and ran ad accounts, I had to upload my driver’s license.
If you stop using Instagram, then you won’t have to worry about it.
But it does mean that an unpaid moderator isn’t attempting to moderate their platform. Let them see what happens when they take the extwitter approach of letting the computers handle everything.
So what they are saying is they are willing to take liability and thus be open to being sued over this as they know of the scams but say they do not break community guidelines
Got it
Seems like Mr Beast might have a claim for a defamation suit since they’re actively allowing what amounts to identity theft and fraud on their platform.
Companies serving ads should have at least partial liability for them. If they can’t afford to look into them all, then maybe they are too big or their business model just isn’t as viable as they pretend it is.
They are too big. There is no maybe about it.
You best start believing in late stage capitalism, you’re in one.
We’re already at the point where companies are cannibalizing themselves to grow more, like cancer. They’re going to destroy themselves trying to endlessly grow. And you know what? Thank FUCK for that.
