Avoid using these words and hashtags on Instagram because they are forbidden and prohibited
Instagram is an app that a lot of people are increasingly using, yet every day we learn more new things about it, such as that there are words that should not be used under any circumstances in the app if you don't want to be censored and even account removed.
It makes sense, and the community standards themselves suggest this, that you shouldn't use IPR-protected content, send spam or promote illegal content. All words promoting hate, offers of sexual favors, self-harm, etc. are prohibited because they do not comply with Instagram's rules.
If you use any of the prohibited words, which are those that do not comply with the application rules, the Instagram team can remove your content. If you are abusing you or it is serious enough, they can remove your account and even call the police.
In some cases, the app itself may notify you when you try to post an offensive comment or a comment that violates the rules. The same thing happens with hashtags, there are some hashtags that are banned, and they even warn you about them. These are the topics that you should not discuss, neither in words, nor in words, nor even in pictures:
- Names of illegal drugs and medicines
- Sexual services or related words
- Words related to child sexual abuse
- Offensive words that cause hatred, violence, harassment, blackmail or discrimination against someone
- that encourages terrorism or organized crime
- Firearms
- Words that encourage self-harm, suicide, eating disorders and others
- Threats of theft, vandalism, physical integrity and financial harm
- Vaping, promotion of smoking, alcohol and others
related to the sale of live animals or the termination of endangered ones
Remember that you can't use these words in any of the app's languages, so there are many of them that are prohibited in English, Arabic, and other languages. Although we mention them in general because they can be many, we offer you some forbidden words, some in posts, others in hashtags or on business pages.
These are some of the many words that may be censored in posts or hashtags, although it's best to use common sense and do nothing that goes against current enforcement and legality rules to protect your account and avoid being censored. There are cases of people who have had to face convictions for content posted on their social networks, and you don't need to.
