My friend's Instagram account was "locked" (not "deactivated") due to suspicious activity (he used a third party analytics app which must have triggered suspicious login attempts and has since removed it). He no longer has access to the 2FA mobile number on the account but can still receive emails. So far all options to unlock have been exhausted. The web documentation just loops in circles, the form to contact fb can't be submitted because the account is not "deactivated". The support email address appears to be a bot. All attempts to sign in have failed due to no access to 2FA number. If anyone is willing to help out, you will be rewarded with cash to buy some of McDonald's finest.

People who like Modi, are you okay with your country’s leader using words like “infiltrators” for a community?

Tech companies to avoid as a white guy?
i think it is called “banned”
It says the account is temporarily locked and the account content is still online. If it was banned, I would assume they would take the profile page offline. Also it seems an account is unlikely to be permanently banned for "suspicious login attempts".
