It happened to me, too, about twelve hours ago. I had just sent a request to follow a musician’s private account, something I’ve never done before. I then received a notice that my account had been permanently suspended for violating community guidelines. I went through a few steps to protest that suspension, including replying with codes sent to my e-mail address and phone. There was no immediate response from Instagram, but when I checked a few minutes ago the app was working for me again. I haven’t posted anything to Instagram in several years, but I do follow a few dozen accounts of friends and of people producing content of interest to me. I thought it strange that Instagram’s AI would suspend my account for such innocuous behavior—I even click on ads occasionally—but there seems to have been a wider glitch.
