Private accounts

NotSherlockHuns · May 19, 2019

Hi could anyone clarify what the rules are about discussing private instagram accounts? Seems to be a bit of confusion around whether it's OK or not so just wanted to check. Thank you!

I think threads for private accounts are not allowed now, as there was issue where an Instagrammer was posted here and then kept making her account private.

Yes private accounts are generally off limits, unless it's a really big account as a private account isn't putting themselves out there

Hi! So is it okey to screenshot a private insta account ( with a lot of followers) and post it?

Noticed lately that a lot of the influencers with a big enough following have learned that if they go private for a bit, people have to follow to view their content, in my opinion, if you have thousands and thousands of followers you’re not a private account

There is a thread on health Instagrammers about a private account

this hasnt been locked and being allowed to discuss although the person is private? Is this not against the rules? Thanks.

If someones account has gone private, please do post when it went private their username, if they post ads/affiliate links and how many followers they have so we can look into if the thread should be locked as they've retired from being a public figure.

I am unable to post the private username as the account has now been deactivated and the person is no longer on Instagram. The thread is in health instagrammers “Emily’s.journey_x”

Thread on health instagrammers is https://tattle.life/threads/emilys-journey_x.13230/

their profile is www.Instagram.com/emilys.journey_x and she is private & has approx 100 followers so has obviously retired from being a public figure.
