Hello everyone, I was all ready to create my account "let's make this money" I said to myself after paying a new phone and sim card to be sure.. Then *a few moments later* I got a warning from Instagram when I was creating my account — right at the end, when I had to accept the terms of use or something like that. An error message popped up saying they were being cautious, and I had the choice between “Go back” or “Report a problem.” I pushed through and managed to create the account anyway. Do you think they shadowbanned me right away, or is it just their random paranoia because I don’t have an iPhone and my Gmail account is only two weeks old? Of course, I was also using 4G with a new Lycamobile SIM card. At that point what I'm supposed to do to not appear as a bot or suspicious wth ? Then they write me a mail saying I'm suspended, I gave them my phone number and then they let me, what do you advise me, it is possible to grow my acc with what happened ?

Hi everyone, I live in France and I’d like to target a US audience, but I’m wondering if I can do that from my current location without using a VPN or anything like that. Will Instagram’s algorithm limit me because it sees that I’m not located in the US? Do you think it would be better to just target a French audience instead ?
