Yes, Instagram does remove accounts that violate its Community Guidelines or Terms of Use. This includes accounts involved in spam, hate speech, harassment, misinformation, or those promoting harmful behavior. They use AI and human moderation to detect and take action against such accounts—sometimes issuing warnings or temporary suspensions before a full deletion. So, it’s not just a rumor—Instagram actively works to keep the platform safe by removing what they consider “unhealthy” or harmful accounts.
