Good news- the fan accounts below have been restored:

http://www.instagram.com/greenday_ita

http://www.instagram.com/greendaybrasiloficial

http://www.instagram.com/greendayinc

http://www.instagram.com/greendaymx

 

BTW we asked IG why these all got taken down and they said 

 

"Probably just caught up in regular sweeps removing fake/impersonating account. You should encourage these types of accounts to clearly identify themselves as FAN ACCOUNTS to prevent problems in the future."

This is great to hear. Thanks so much Bill! 
For the people who got theirs back, how exactly were you notified? I’m still waiting on mine.

Wow just reading all of this thread that’s fucked I don’t really follow any of these accounts but they shouldn’t have their accounts disabled if they aren’t going against IG’s policies and fan accounts aren’t against policies

No notification, it’s just there, and then they send you an email for changing the password

Like trying to log in? I just did that and I’m still disabled. Hopefully they’ll restore everyone else soon.

Great that those pages are back. It seems to me that a lot of the ones that were taken down were already very upfront about not being official in any way and stated that they were just fan pages, though. I wonder what kind of language Instagram looks for and deems imposter vs fan page. Maybe there are key words and phrases that should be included like "fan account" (like Bill stated) to prevent being swept by the algorithm.

Nono, just an email (they send me it in portoguese don’t know why ahah) just to change the password and this is how I saw that my account was back, the first time my friends tell me it. So from the app you won’t receive nothing

Guys, I'm pretty sad right now. I worked hard for my page and it's still disabled.

@foxborohottub thank you so much for your help, we really appreciate it, can you please let us know if the other pages will be back too? Thank you @

Yeah I feel the exact same way. It’s great that everyone is starting to come back and that we finally have some clarity, but I’ve gotten no word on my page. It honestly kinda sucks when a ton of other people have gotten theirs back already and you’re just sitting in here with nothing still.

Really? But they mentioned Fan Account in the bio, how is it possible? This is so messed up

:( I don't mind waiting, if only they could tell us that we have to wait a little longer but they will certainly be reactivated..

Yes, here's a print that I take one day before:

163110585-3714593971922650-8325331790486

😭

It's in Fan Page (Página de Fãs) category too.

I was away from there quite some time. Now after seeing Bill's post, I'm really happy for all the fans who got their accounts back! Btw, I created another page a few weeks ago by including the name greenday just to see how it would end up and it's still active after more than 2 weeks but ofc doesn't mean it'd stay like that, I'm not gonna use it so probably I'll never know lol Also, I didn't get a new e-mail from Instagram or Facebook yet but I'll be checking that out.

That is such bullshit! It clearly says fan account, as the Instagram people told Bill they wanted them to be labeled as. What more do they want?

What the hell?! I didn't think that this situation with instagram could get more annoying, but here we are. I had fan account written in my bio before it was disabled. Shows how messed up their algorithm for this stuff truly is. Especially after people being restored and then getting taken down AGAIN. Most of us still haven't even gotten our accounts back at all. How much longer do we have to endure this ridiculous bullshit?

@foxborohottub thank you again to you and your team for working to help us, but I'm just worried that Instagram thinks that this is the end of it because there are so many people who never got their accounts restored at all. Even with the reoccurring issues with greendaybrasil, I feel like the rest of us could get brushed under the rug due to never being restored in the first place. It just seems like they think it's all over now because they brought back a handful of people.

Apparently not.  But I would like my account back still.

 

Did anyone else get their account back recently, like within the last two weeks or so?  If so, I hate you. lol  effin' instagram. Looks like Bill forgot about the rest of us too. So disappointing.
