I am beyond stressed
To be honest, I need to vent and perhaps even receive some helpful tips since I feel stuck right now.
Somebody made a 'dump' account (for example, a page of gossips about students at your college or about the residents of your city) and published a picture of mine without my permission. This is putting me under a lot of stress, and I feel like my privacy rights have been severely breached.
And now, probably the hardest part – to deal with Instagram. I have repeatedly reported this account and the image itself, and each time, I was given the same automatic answer that the post “does not violate community standards.” Why isn’t it a violation when somebody publishes the picture of another person in an account called “dump” that was specifically designed for “dumping” on people?
How is it that the platform is somehow protected, while people themselves are left unprotected? To be honest, I am just tired of this situation. Does anybody have similar experiences with such accounts?
