Wow! This is unbelievable. We all obviously knew the truth all along, and I can’t help but wonder who was really behind this. Hoping they get you logged back in asap.

Subhanallah! No words 😖 Instagram, you have taken one step in the right direction now please return rightful access to Shaun King! I can’t wait to see you back on Insta, Shaun 🤩🥳 ( although you have proved you don’t frickin need them which is why Meta is now returning with their tails between their legs!)

Eat my words, Insta: We will follow Shaun wherever he goes even if it’s snail mail!!

Unbelievable... Wow..

And Powerful words, Shaun. Keep speaking.

"The bans are political,

The enforcement is manual, not algorithmic,

The appeals are fake.

...

This is not about me being dangerous.

It never was.

This is about control.

Narrative. Power. And silence."

It's great that you are back on IG. I expect there is "someone" who knows how to reactivate your password. Meta and IG are extremely suspect organizations, but why not use them when you are able, to reach as many people as you can. I am grateful that I can be part of your group. I hope you get logged in very soon.

May I ask that you consider disengaging from IG by choice. On your own terms. After perhaps directing your followers there to follow you on your other platforms. Post more please on Bluesky.

I left Twitter and paypal seconds after Musk took over, and I refuse to allow meta world (IG, fb, threads) to make 1 dime off of me. I was banned, deleted, and posts were hidden by followers for months after supporting Gaza. The final straw was when they deleted an article on a jfk speech 60+ years ago against the practice of pushing foreign opponents to the point of humiliation, particularly when they possessed nuclear capabilities. An historical speech DELETED as going against community standards and hate speech.

We can't destroy the Oligarchy by continuing to fund it. Imho

We all know that someone has the power to reset your password. Getting to them, and getting them to do it, are a whole nother ball game. Best of success and keep us apprised.

I never will understand Instagram or FB and their bans. All I know is they don't like me posting things about saving starving children in Gaza. That's all you need to know about these a-holes! Glad you can at least see your account now, Shaun. Keep fighting for them to let you get back in.

I followed you from before you were banned. Just went on to search for your account and did not see it.

Thanks to ig for permabanning a couple of my fb/ig accounts over petty nonsense I either said facetiously, I lost touch with friends, familt acquaintances and ex- workers and important job references. I had to create fake accounts since posting real profiles of myself wasn't worth the effort if I'm going to get permaZucked!
