Some Instagram accounts have been accused of taking advantage of the Sudan crisis to gain more followers
“I think it's brought a lot of attention to Sudan,” Mark Hackett, the executive director of Operation Broken Silence, a nonprofit that supports programs Sudan's war-torn regions, told MTV News of the social media movement surrounding the Sudanese crisis. “It's also unfortunately brought some misinformation.”
One account in particular — @SudanMealProject — gained nearly 400,000 followers on Instagram in less than a week, before Instagram removed it for violating its policies.Atlantic The account didn’t say how they would give the meals to Sudanese children. It didn’t explain if it was a recognized aid agency. It was purportedly preying on people who wanted to help; someone who was logged into the account told the, “What I am obtaining is followers and exposure,” but did not elaborate on how the account would give meals to Sudanese people in need.
Instagram noticed, which is why the company removed the account, and others, for violating its policies.
