Banned immediately upon account creation
I've never had an Instagram and was finally persuaded by my friends to sign up . I went through, found a unique username and everything and immediately upon clicking the 'Create Account' button, I get a pop- up that says "You're account has been banned" and then immediately received an email that my account was locked for suspicious activity.
So I've tried on MULTIPLE different devices AND different IPs to make an Instagram account and I'm suspended instantly every single time. Considering there's SO many bots on Instagram , I can't imagine why real humans like me get banned from making accounts while the bots pass through. Does anyone know why this is happening?
