Yeah that was the first thing I noticed as well. I'm somewhat surprised (a little sad, even) that the BBC chose not to write it in the subjunctive mood, which is precisely what is required here.
I thought when I read the headline that Instagram was insisting (that is, reiterating) that Littergram was already renamed.
