The Instagram account of photojournalist Irene Radosavljević was temporarily suspended due to the alleged reports that the network received, and the most likely reason is some alleged posts that were presented as a violation of the network’s rules. The reports were sent from fake accounts, and represent an abuse of the channel and reporting mechanism.

The attack took place in similar periods of time as the attacks on the accounts of other portals and photojournalists. In the meantime, after quickly notifying Meta and communicating with the authorities, the order was reinstated.

Meta was informed about all the incidents, and NUNS informed the competent Special Public Prosecutor’s Office for VTK about these events.
