🤯 (VIDEO) I think I finally know exactly who got me banned for life from Instagram
Banned for life after a “government demand,” I now believe it was Israel’s cyber chief — the same man just arrested in Las Vegas — who silenced me on Instagram. Every AI tool I asked also agrees.
Friends - I am banned and censored across the Internet, but not here. Please CLICK HERE to join and become a member today! We need your support.
That conversation you see above was a few hours ago. But I need to take you back a whole 606 days ago when something happened that still shocks me.
🟥 The Day I Was Silenced
On December 24th, 2023 — Christmas Eve — Instagram permanently banned my account of nearly six million followers. I loved the platform and had been on there since the earliest days of the gram. It was my primary social media and organizing hub for over 10 years.
At the time, I had the single most engaged account in the world covering the genocide in Gaza at that time. Millions of people relied on it for truth, eyewitness reporting, and organizing. Then, overnight, it was gone. No appeal. No pathway back. Not even Donald Trump, who was charged with nearly a hundred felonies, was treated like this. He was reinstated. I was banned for life.
And the reason? A simple, humane open letter that I posted on December 22nd titled “To the Men of Yemen.” In it, I thanked the men of Yemen for doing anything and everything they knew to do to try to stop Israel’s genocide of Palestinians.That was it. That was the post that got me wiped off the map.
My full letter to the men of Yemen can be read here.
🕵🏽 The Betrayal
The ban itself was shocking. But the betrayal cut even deeper.
The CEO of Instagram, Adam Mosseri, who spent much of his childhood in Israel and whose family still lives there now, on land they literally pushed Palestinians off of, personally followed me on the app. Mark Zuckerberg’s wife gave a $1 million donation to my charity. I was a guest speaker at Meta headquarters. I wrote blog posts for them. I spoke to their senior staff multiple times a week. FOR YEARS.
I wasn’t some outsider. I was one of their most trusted and visible voices.
And yet, when I was banned, Meta played every dirty trick in the book to keep me from appealing. When I told them that the Houthis of Yemen were removed from the American terror list 2 years earlier by Joe Biden, what happened next was shocking. They told me I could not celebrate Yemen’s courage because the Houthis were on their “own private terror list” — a list they refused to show me, a list that doesn’t exist in law. When my attorneys tried to appeal to the independent Meta Oversight Board in London — the only check on Meta’s censorship power — Meta slammed the door shut by outright deleting my account, so there was no “account” left to appeal. The Oversight Board told us privately they would have taken my case, but that they couldn’t since their bylaws required me to have a case number - which Meta refused to give.
They even hired Orrick, a Zionist law firm that brags about its allegiance to Israel, to fight against me.
And then came the moment that always haunted me. My attorneys were told flatly that the call to permanently delete my account was not simply Meta’s own decision. They said it “was beyond their control.” It was a government demand. They would not say which government. They refused to give a name.
For months, that unanswered question gnawed at me. Which government? Who had that kind of power over my voice, my platform, my life’s work?
🎥 The Smoking Gun
That answer came into focus this week after I helped break the news of the arrest of the high ranking Israeli government official, Tom Alexandrovich, for sex crimes against children in Las Vegas. This was is STILL the executive director of Israel’s National Cyber Directorate — the very office that oversees takedown requests and censorship coordination with Meta and other platforms.
I need you to see this Israeli news interview with this pervert.
Alexandrovich bragged that after October 7th his office received 40,000 takedown requests. He said 90% of the targeted content was on Meta’s platforms — Instagram and Facebook. And then he said the quiet part out loud: they weren’t just targeting “terrorist” content. They were targeting activists and critics of Israel.
That’s me. That’s exactly who I am. That’s exactly what my Instagram account was.
So when I put the pieces together — the timing of my ban, the language my attorneys were given about a “government demand,” the power Alexandrovich wielded, and his confession on Israeli TV — it all lined up. I believe it was Israel. I believe it was Alexandrovich’s office that ordered Instagram to delete me permanently.
🩸 The Confirmation from X
The final piece of the puzzle came this weekend when I posted about Alexandrovich on X (Twitter). After going super viral all of my posts and all of the posts from Grok about the case were removed. When I pressed for answers, Grok, X’s own AI, told me plainly: the takedown was at the request of Israel’s cyber unit. Alexandrovich’s unit. And it wasn’t because of any U.S. legal order. X admitted it complied voluntarily.
Today Grok confirmed it again today definitively.
So I asked both Grok and ChatGPT5 what they thought the mathematical likelihood is that it was Tom Alexandrovich and his office that had me removed from Instagram. Here are their replies.
Chat puts the likelihood at 95%.
Grok says this and put it at 80%.
So there it is.
My Instagram was deleted after his office demanded Meta silence “activists.”
My tweets were deleted after his office demanded X silence me directly.
The man himself bragged about it on Israeli television.
And my lawyers were told at the time that a “government” had made the demand.
Now we finally know which government. It was Israel.
⚖️ What America Did
And what did the United States do after catching Alexandrovich in Las Vegas, exposed for preying on kids? Nothing. They let him go. They put him on a plane back to Israel. No extradition. No charges. No accountability.
This is moral bankruptcy on display. The United States not only funds Israel’s genocide in Gaza. It not only shields its war crimes. It also protects its predators and censors, allowing them to silence American citizens and then fly home untouched.
🩸 The Bigger System
This is not about one man. This is about the system itself. Israel runs censorship operations out of Netanyahu’s office. American tech companies comply. The U.S. looks the other way. And when the mask slips, when one of the enforcers is unmasked as a predator, he is shielded and sent home.
The irony is staggering. The man who had my voice silenced, who got my Instagram banned for life, was just caught trying to victimize children in the United States.
❤️ A Final Word
Sisters and brothers, I’ll keep saying it: Israel admits out loud what America denies. They admit to censorship. They admit to silencing activists. And now, the man behind my own lifetime ban from Instagram has been revealed.
That is who censors us. That is who America protects. That is the system we are fighting against.

This is beyond enraging, Shaun. It is EVIL and even frightening. I must believe that some degree of justice will prevail. Meanwhile, keep "outing" this guy. I see his name as a predator showing up everywhere!! Yea!
