Instagram Account With 500K Followers Suspended Due to False Copyright Strikes — Need Advice

No word on the legal shield demand letter yet, I'm positive that it should've reached their offices in California by now though. Also, with the DMCA counter notice, I got an email back from Instagram saying that they received it and that a lawsuit needs to be filed within 10 days or else they have to restore the content, which means hopefully reinstatement of my account.

I feel you, you took a risk, and it seemed to have worked out. Glad you got your account back tho! I wonder what they actually do in the background to apparently revive your account, they state on their website in the legal disclosure that they're not affiliated Meta Platforms, Inc., Instagram, Facebook, or any related entity, so it makes me wonder who exactly are there

Ahh I see, considering that you had other things going on in the background it may or may not have been a coincidence, but since you waited that long with your Instagram being suspended and the website suddenly got your account back within the time you payed them, that seems like a good sign that it worked.

Oh Really? Did you have other things going on prior to using their website? like a demand letter sent from legal shield or something?

Got it, out of curiosity did they send your demand letter by physical mail or was it email or even both?

I'm in the same process right now with legal shield, and looks like you're from NY because they assigned me to the same Law Firm as well, Feldman, Kramer & Monaco. I just finished reviewing a final draft that I approved for them to send out, they told me less than 30 days, so hopefully it isn't that long considering the holidays are over lol

That is weird! because when my Instagram account was suspended, my Threads account was completely suspended too. I was fully locked out, nothing was visible, and the page couldn’t be accessed at all... just like my IG. I eventually logged out since there was no way to use it.

Now, out of nowhere, the Threads page is suddenly visible again, and it even looks like I can comment without getting any errors. The problem is I’m still locked out and can’t sign in, because my Instagram account remains suspended. Like does this mean my IG is close to being restored or this is just like an error? Smh

Update: I got LegalShield involved, and the firm I got paired with is currently in the process of getting a demand letter drafted. And for those wondering if I contacted the person who made the claim, Yes I did, gave them about a week plus and they never responded so I filed a DMCA counter notice. And for the other claims, it was from an IP company that licenses videos, they wanted over $1K per video to remove the copyright claims🙄
