People are saying their deleting peoples accounts that don't use the instagram camera or filters but people who do use the filters and cameras have been deleted so I don't really know. Just hope they don't delete yours

A weird glitch is happening on Instagram right now. The photo service is randomly deleting accounts and saying that those accounts have been flagged for a violation of terms.

There is no word on why these glitches are occurring but I can tell you for a fact that posting any of the following pictures will not save your account from being deleted.

Instagram isn't deleting random accounts. It is a glitch that is going around attacking random accounts and deleting them somehow. Kind of like a virus in a human body...

They are clearing spam accounts and violations.
The camera thing is a lie, as are the "repost these pictures and you wont be deleted"
Your account may be compromised and posting spam on pictures without your knowledge, or it would be for posting urls in comments, bios ect. Its best to take out any urls and change your password.

It has nothing to do with pictures, hackers managed to get a hold of peoples accounts on instagram.
