Why Was My Instagram Account Restricted (Laws)? How to Fix It? or Instagram Account Restricted (Laws)

OP here—

Y’all are lifesavers! Didn’t realize how many ways this Instagram account restricted (laws) thing could happen.

Update: Checked my email like someone said, and yep—copyright claim from a repost. Deleted the vid and appealed again. Fingers crossed!

Quick Q: Anyone know if deleting the flagged content *before* appealing helps? Or does IG still punish you?

Also, thx for the links—DMCA site is clutch. 🙌
