Instagram users have told the BBC of the “extreme stress” of having their accounts banned after being wrongly accused by the platform of breaching its rules on child sexual exploitation.

The BBC has been in touch with three people who were told by parent company Meta that their accounts were being permanently disabled, only to have them reinstated shortly after their cases were highlighted to journalists.

    Yeah this is my biggest point too. If they aren’t receiving income, how are they supposed to access mental health services? In what world an ‘employer’ that barely pays their workers is going to provide mental health services?

    Free and low cost services are incredibly overburdened already.

    Real professional help is what people really need. Everything else are just excuses to avoid providing real support or guaranteeing an income that allows for accessing mental health services.
