I am a very casual IG user and access it monthly usually from a Firefox browser. Don't even have the app downloaded. Few weeks ago I was scrolling, all of a sudden I got redirected to https://www.instagram.com/accounts/suspended and asked for a phone number for a confirmation code, which never gets delivered.<p>My setup shouldn't have any red flags in it. I access the Internet using Comcast from the US, no VPN; the phone number I gave is a vanilla Verizon number (and tried another one as well); I have tried various browsers, even new installations just to see if things work if I remove all ad blockers and other extensions. Console Log in Devtools has a few errors but none seem like a smoking gun.<p>So what can a humble Internet user do in this Kafkaesque situation?
