You Won’t Believe Why This Mum’s Instagram Account Was Shut Down

A new mum who posted pictures of her post-pregnancy stretchmarks on Instagram was horrified after they were removed for breaching the site’s decency guidelines.

Hannah Moore, 20, uploaded the snaps to boost her confidence after the birth of her twin girls, telling her followers that “nobody should be judged by their size because everyone is beautiful”.

However, only two minutes later, she claims her account was deleted because the images were deemed to contain inappropriate “nudity and violence,” making her think her body is “clearly fat, ugly and disgusting and it made people feel sick”.

She said: “Two minutes after the picture was uploaded my account got closed down, my mouth just dropped and my eyes watered. I don’t know why, it was out of the blue but I decided to post a picture of my belly on Instagram because I’ve had twins. I had written underneath the picture how unconfident I had always been, how relationships have been hard and how hard it is to find clothes that I like. I want not just myself but other women thin or bigger to love themselves and love their size because everyone is beautiful. Instagram should be more careful in whose accounts they delete and look into it further.”

Hannah got the stretch marks after giving birth to Lily and Grace with fiance David Johnstone, 22, in June last year.

She said “I basically wrote that people should never get judged for the size and what they look like because everyone is beautiful. The picture was up two minutes until my Instagram logged out itself and then it came up saying my account has been shut down because of violations. Nobody could get on my Instagram and nobody could search for it so someone had obviously reported the picture. I felt so confident posting the picture showing my baby belly, my belly that carried twin girls for six months.”

A spokeswoman for Instagram did not wish to comment but said: “It was a technical mistake and the account has been restored.”
