Instagram’s Community Guidelines

- Don’t use bot(artificial means) to increase likes or followers.
- Don’t buy likes or followers or engagement. Engagements on Instagram should be exchanged for money.
- Share contents that are okay for a diverse audience.
- Do not support (like/follow/comments) hate groups, terrorism, or crimes on Instagram.
- Communicate and treat members of Instagram with respect.
- A lot of people use Instagram, so avoid posting horrific contents. If you must do so for sensitisation or news purpose, there should be a warning message for viewers.
Your account could be suspended if many people report your account. So don’t send rude or unwanted direct messages, don’t offend people, don’t spam people’s inboxes with unwanted pictures, etc.
