“My Instagram got banned,” said ‘Rampage’. He presented that he used to post funny stuff from the internet to his Instagram account, for which he faced some warnings. However, he was confused about when his account got banned.

“They banned again, with no explanation, and I didn’t post, and I comment on nobody. I didn’t say nothing.”
