Would it be easier if someone made a Google form rather than a spreadsheet? It would keep their information confidential, and it’s a lot easier to make sure everyone is included. It’s easy to share around and that’s what we need. It can be very hard cause not everyone is on Green Day authority. The forms are not hard to navigate. I just think it would make everyone’s life a lot easier. 

It's best to just DM BeachBum so not everyone's information is public. Some don't use email and instead have phone numbers.

The thing with the form is that your informs is kept private. You can put all your information in there that needs to be given and only the person who creates the form will be able to see (unless it is physically shared with someone else I believe). It would be the same as a dm to BeachBum. It would just be a shareable form. There are tons of people who don’t have accounts on here, and it can be really hard to share information and keep people updated. I can only do so much. 

Have any of you even done a google form before? It’s like a survey. Your info is sent it and it is only seen by the creator of the form and shared collaborators. Phone numbers or email, it can all be put in there privately, without conflict.

Any updates??? I know that people are working on it, but I've been super anxious about it and it would be nice to know if any progress has been made. I've been thinking about emailing Instagram, but I'm not sure if that will help at all.

Have you ever tried to submit appeal to this contact page of Instagram. You can fill the form and send for them to review. I was gonna send it too but was not really sure about what should I write for this last section

There was some uproar about Instagram deleting fan accounts a few weeks ago and from what I read then the real reason they were being taken down was that the fan accounts are almost entirely filled with copyrighted images. The removal reason was impersonation but it seems that the copyright issues are what they are really worried about. Not sure if it applies to what is happening here but it sounds like it. 

Honest question, if this were to be the case would GD actually be able to resolve the problem.?

If the case is just about copyrighted images, every account or GD/Billie Joe page has been sharing the almost same images and copyrighted content but then why not every page affected by that? Now I've seen people saying like you cannot have greenday on your username or your account will be deleted but I don’t think it’s just about that because the accounts who do not have greenday on their username or even profile pictures got disabled (or deleted) as well and some other gd named accounts are still online and they are still sharing the copyrighted pictures. And also some pages that got diabled was not even sharing pics but mostly covers, some of them was just sharing live concert footages, they seem had a more appearent copyrighted material but there are still accounts can share music video clips on Instagram and they are not official or verified accounts but Instagram does not take action for them. So overall, I don't still think this whole thing makes sense in a solid way, and if all the other pages would continue sharing the copyrighted content without affecting from now on, I would consider that unfair for all of us.

Sorry I don't know the answer to that. 

I did complain about a scam account that was asking budding photographers for money to show their photos and it took IG six months to reply so that's why I say it could take time

It can take a long time but I believe that they are trying their best to do whatever possible to make sure the pages will keep available for everyone since I'm sure that they all care about these pages and see them as an important dynamic of the band on a social platfrom that they use frequently for a long time, some of the accounts that were disabled has been followed by Green Day, Billie/Mike/Tré , they have always been interacting with them in some way, reposting their posts, leaving likes and comments and even messaging with some of them.  So, I don't think they would feel good about the absence of them.

So do you think it’s worth it to fill out that form? I’m just terrified of my account getting deleted. Can they do that if they don’t find what I say convincing enough? If I don’t know that the gd team are working to fix the problem.

Honestly, I cannot be sure about things you’re asking. I don’t think it would do anything to send the form anyways. So, you might not do it, I just shared because I think it would be a better option than sending e-mail.

I decided to go ahead and send the form. I wrote a very long message. Hopefully they read it. 

I think if we get more people who got disabled to fill out that form, they will take notice. You don’t have to send in your ID or anything for that one.

Theorically, in the first instagram notice (when they disabled the accounts) it said something like "30 days to assess the situation." This is why most of our accounts are listed as "disabled", not in a "deleted" status. We try to generate the claim with the ID. But nothing happened yet.
We think it must be something related to the instagram algorithm. That is why there are accounts that still work, normally these changes in the networks take time and are random. The name of the account, it was said at first but we did not have that and we are in the same situation.
Accounts that did not have videos were also terminated, perhaps it is an error of Instagram and its algorithm trying to "eliminate accounts that impersonate identities. Since that was the message that was received the first time.

Hey so I've been watching videos on how to get my account back, and I figured that I would let everyone know that all of instagram's support forms for disabled accounts are down, besides the one that was linked in the chat earlier. Also I got a reply back from Instagram after I filled it out and it replied in Japanese. Super weird. I tried another one but I haven't gotten anything yet. I'll keep everyone posted if I make any progress.

They are all telling the same thing, nothin really different than filling the form and waiting for the approval. Btw, all the e-mail comes from Facebook/Instagram is in Japanese, they don’t use English. You shoud have gotten another one like that earlier. When I replied it, they sent another one in Japanese again.

Also, I couldn't find anything to write rather than saying "impersonating is not never my intention, I was just posting some fan page content like the other hundereds of pages on Instagram that have been posting the exact same content as me." and that doesn't seem convincing enough, I guess lol

FYI I am using the "thanks" reaction to indicate if I added it.  It's got a thumbs up and much easier than replying all the time

Done. 
 

 

Can you add @greendaysjunkie on the list ?

I'm sorry about the delay for replying following what I've written last meekend about article 13 voted by the European Union. Let me clear some things.

First, even if it has been voted by the European Union, the effect is global. Accounts can be seen everywhere. If a account would have been blocked in one country, it is still viewable in another one. People will find ways to share the content of the blocked account on others that are accessible. Article 13 asked social medias to have legal licenses for everything posted online. In other words, if you posted something made/photographed by you, you're the owner and you must have the license for it to be posted. If you posted something, even with giving the credits, you don't have the license since it's not your work. You're then illegal. For Instagram, it means to take down everything and to keep the original sources only.

And as for how the accounts have been found by Instagram, there are a few things that explained it. Yes, the username can be one reason, but not the only one. The avatar used showing the artist/brand, the artist/brand name's presence in the bio, the common hastags used by the artist/brand, posting pictures that don't belong to you, etc. It's a combination of things that the algoriths are searching. You only need one to be taken down.

For now, the only thing that can protect your account, if yours is still opened, is to change your setting to private.

Our statement for now:
Hey everyone, as you know by now most Green Day fan accounts have been suspended by instagram without reason or warning. We took up @trecool ‘s advice and created a new page until matters, hopefully, get resolved, so that we still have a place to connect here. #greenday
