To the workers if Instagram,

Stop deleting fan pages. People work hard to make them. People keep asking you to stop deleting Instagram accounts but all you’re doing is ignoring them. Ignoring people doesn’t make you look so good does it. There is a wide range of users who aren’t happy using the app. On the Instagram preview before you download the app, it says “Join the community of over 1 billion people and express yourself..” how are we supposed to express ourselves and have a good time on Instagram if you are taking away the thing that we want to express. People work hard on their accounts. Besides celebrities don’t care about people who pretend to be them because everyone else knows who the real celebrity is. The people who imposter celebrities aren’t doing any harm, they’re just uncivil. I’m not siding with people who imposter celebrities but other people shouldn’t get their accounts taken away because you THINK they may be impostering someone. Back to the main point, you’re not doing any good by removing accounts, you’re actually making things worse. No one and I mean NO ONE is happy with this account removal. Literally everyone is against it. Why would you do something that hurts the users of your app. End of the day...you’re most likely not going to recover the lost accounts. You’re mostly likely not going to care about this message even if you read it at all, and I’d be surprised if you didn’t read this. If you are reading this, just stop. It’s not that hard to stop deleting accounts. My time on my account has brought so much more into my life that wouldn’t be there without it and I can speak for many other people out there, not just myself. Sign the petition if you feel this must come to an end and for one last time, Instagram... please stop deleting our accounts.

Instagram shouldn’t be deleting accounts. It’s just not fair. People should be allowed to show their appreciation toward someone or something through a fan account, also, it’s nice for people to have pictures of their favourite things pop up in their feed. I do it if they’re deleting accounts if they’re totally inactive and have no posts, but they can see when people last logged onto the account. This is totally unfair and it needs to be stopped.

People work really hard on their fan accounts to show their appreciation for others and their idols and it's just wrong to delete all their hard work and dedication.

Please stop deleting our accounts! Myself and my friends have lot their accounts! All of our hard work, the time spent on our edits, all our time gaining followers, all our time getting likes and supports, went down the drain because you guys wantted to delete fan pages for NO GOOD REASON. Please fix yourself! If not I will leave this app and go to another. Like TikTok.
