We remove Instagram posts and Reels that break Instagram's rules or the law: harassment, photos of you shared without consent, your private details, or copies of your own work. We file through Meta's own report, privacy and copyright channels, and escalate with legal notices when a report is rejected. $1,700 per post, 48–72 hours; you pay only when it's removed, and any deposit is refunded in full if we can't remove it.

Scope
How it works
We remove Instagram posts on a specific ground, so start with evidence: the post's link and screenshots showing the account, date, caption and any comments that matter. We tell you which rule or law applies, or that none does, before you commit.
A harassment report, Instagram's privacy violation route, a copyright notice and an EU Digital Services Act notice are judged by different teams on different tests. We file the one your facts meet, with the evidence it needs, instead of repeating the report button.
If the first report is rejected, we ask for a review, move to the specific privacy or intellectual-property channel, or send a formal notice under the DSA or GDPR. If only a court order would work, we tell you plainly.
Success means the post no longer loads at its link — you can check it yourself. You pay only when it's removed. If we can't remove it, you don't pay — any deposit is refunded in full.
Legal grounds
Every major platform prohibits harassment, impersonation, privacy violations, non-consensual imagery and fake engagement — and runs formal legal and privacy request channels beyond the public report button.
In the glossary →Hosting services operating in the EU must offer a way to report illegal content, process each notice diligently and explain their decision — including when they refuse.
Regulation (EU) 2022/2065, Art. 16 ↗People in the EU/EEA (and the UK, under UK GDPR) can require organisations — search engines included — to erase personal data that is inaccurate, outdated, unlawfully processed or no longer necessary, balanced against freedom of expression.
Regulation (EU) 2016/679, Art. 17 ↗US hosts and platforms keep their safe harbour only if they expeditiously remove material identified in a valid notice from the copyright owner or an authorised agent.
17 U.S.C. §512(c) ↗Already reported it?
A rejected in-app report is a policy decision on a general report, not a ruling on your rights. A privacy violation report or a copyright report goes to a different queue with its own test. In the EU, a Digital Services Act notice about illegal content must be processed diligently and answered with a decision, which you can challenge through Meta's internal complaint system or a certified out-of-court dispute body. A GDPR erasure request is a separate legal right again. Some decisions can also be appealed to Meta's Oversight Board, though it takes very few cases.
The report button is only one of several doors. Instagram, run by Meta, reviews in-app reports against its Community Guidelines, but it also runs separate channels for privacy, intellectual property and legal complaints. Choosing the door that matches your facts matters far more than how many times you report.
Many people reach for a copyright claim because it feels strongest. But copyright belongs to whoever created the image — usually the person who took it — not the person in it. A selfie you took is yours. A photo an ex or a friend took of you generally belongs to them, so a copyright notice from you can fail or be challenged.
When you don't own the image, the privacy route is usually the right one: Instagram can remove images of you shared without consent, and in the EU and UK your image is personal data. Copyright reports have side effects too. Meta may pass the reporter's name and contact details to the account that posted, and the poster can file a counter-notice, after which the law lets the platform restore the post unless the copyright owner goes to court. An authorised agent can put its own contact details on the notice instead of yours.
Posts get edited, archived, or deleted and re-uploaded, and a report is judged on what the reviewer can see at that moment. Capture the evidence first, then report once, under the most specific category. Reports are reviewed against the rules rather than counted like votes, so asking friends to mass-report adds little.

Questions
Yes. Tagging has nothing to do with whether a post breaks the rules or the law. You can remove a tag yourself from the post's options, but that only unlinks your profile — the post stays up. Removal depends on the content: harassment, private information, an image of you shared without consent, or something unlawful.
Instagram says reports are anonymous, with one exception: intellectual property reports, where the reporter's details can be shared with the account that posted. That's one reason to file copyright claims through an authorised agent. Legal notices identify a sender, which can be an agent acting for you.
Instagram doesn't publish a fixed review time, and an ordinary report can take days or come back with an automated decision. Our published turnaround is 48–72 hours, because we use the channel and evidence your case needs from the start. If your case needs a slower legal route, we tell you before you commit.
Instagram's false information rules target misinformation, such as health or election claims, not personal disputes, so that report category is unlikely to fit a lie about you. A false statement of fact that damages your reputation is a legal matter: in the EU it can be reported as illegal content under the Digital Services Act. Elsewhere it may need a formal legal notice or a court order, and we tell you up front if it does.
A re-upload is a new post, so it needs its own removal. The first decision helps, because it shows the same content already broke Instagram's rules or the law. Repeated violations can also put the posting account at risk; if a whole account exists to target you, see our fake account removal service.
Reporting is free, and for a clear-cut case you should try it first. People come to us when a report has failed, when the case needs a privacy, copyright or legal notice, or when there's too much at stake to guess. If the post stays up you pay nothing — any deposit is refunded in full — so the price is only ever for a result.
