Goodluck with that. They ask for government issued photo ID in many cases for new accounts.
My instagram login made last week with a nonexistent email domain seems to work fine. Who cares if they ban it eventually!

I don't know if theres been any recent change, but not too long ago, login is only required to view Instagram stories. Then they changed it to block location-tagged postings too.

I can only use it again if I give them my phone number, too -.- As if this wasn't enough of their invasive procedures my profile officially says "Account is blocked because of suspicious behavior". This is some advanced trickery to fool users into giving them more data than they intended to do when c…
I'm not saying this to defend twitter, this is definitely some aggressive, disingenuous behavior.

Hopefully everyone moves back to Tumblr. Instagram is just terrible experience all around.
