Am I reading this right - that the Post interfered in an on going investigation by reaching out to Instagram about the accounts?
I assume if the FBI wanted the accounts closed they would have reached out to Instagram themselves, they were already issuing subpoenas to Google et al. The bans could have clued in the perpetrator to the extent of the investigation.

And if they weren't large enough, hopefully their legal team is competent enough to direct the employs to attend to law enforcement first, everyone else second.
