Most likely they are just blocking all users who have an EU home country associated with their Instagram account. Meta determines an account home country based on a lot of different signals, and it takes weeks to months to update after actually moving. Just using a VPN is not enough to get it to update in a short amount of time.
Even as a Meta employee I remember it taking multiple months after moving from Europe to the US before I could use US-gated products (late 2020/early 2021).
- tough 3y agoSo better create a new account? Oh wait you'll get asked for id verification. lmao
- vitorgrs 3y agoNo, you do not get asked for ID verification.
- conformist 3y agoCan confirm empirically that using a VPN from a European country is not sufficient to be blocked.
