The Instagram account of photojournalist Irene Radosavljević was the target of coordinated “spamming” by fake accounts.

Namely, within two hours she was followed by several thousand so-called “followers”, most likely with the aim of showing a wrong picture of the way the photojournalist’s account works, so that Instagram and Meta shut it down.

During that period, several accounts on that network were the target of attacks (Students in blockade, Kreni-promeni…).
