There are a few key reasons why some people might be getting banned immediately after creating Instagram accounts, while others never encounter this issue. It’s all about how the algorithm scores the account at the time of creation, based on many risk signals that Instagram's automated systems evaluate in real-time.

Let’s break this down by the structural logic of Instagram’s and other media platforms’ anti-abuse systems:

🔍 Fundamental Observation:

Instagram (and others) don't just look at account behavior after creation — it scores you the moment you create the account, based on device, IP, behavior fingerprint, and historical patterns.

🔒 Risk Parameters That Might Trigger an Immediate Ban

1. Device Fingerprinting

• Instagram uses device-level data like:
  • Device model
  • OS version
  • Language settings
  • Time zone
  • GPU fingerprint
  • App version
• If multiple accounts are being created from the same device (or similar ones), or a device associated with past bans, that device gets a high-risk score.
• Your device may be "clean" in their system. Theirs might be tied to flagged behavior.

2. IP Address & Network Behavior

• Using:
  • VPNs or proxies (especially common/shared ones)
  • Data center IPs (many cloud servers or bots use these)
  • Previously flagged IP addresses
• Clean IP = low risk
• IP linked to bot farms = instant auto-ban

3. Account Creation Velocity

• If someone is creating multiple accounts quickly (or others on the same IP are), it may trigger:
  • Rate limiting
  • Suspicion of automation
• The system might suspect the user is part of a botnet or spam operation.
