@piersmorgan So is all of Canada. Please never visit again.

@lttlewys @instagram @Meta If there's anyone at @Meta or @instagram with a soul or conscience, they'd have tried to figure this out. 20 others have been hacked and some defrauded of money because of their inaction on this. And that's just from my account alone!

[Sam Fiorella @samfiorella]

So, @instagram makes it stupidly easy for hackers to hack &re-hack accounts by the same email/phone number but makes it pretty much impossible for those hacked to recover their accounts. If anyone ever questioned @Meta's motives...look no further. #instagram #Hacked #fraud

[Sam Fiorella @samfiorella]

@lttlewys @instagram @Meta I was able to get the account back, reset up 2FA, but overnight @instagram allowed the SAME GUY with same email /phone number to gain access again. Despite acknowledging him as a hacker. 🤯

[Sam Fiorella @samfiorella]

@lttlewys @instagram @Meta We shouldn't be shocked that @Meta and @instagram KNOW people are being hacked and fand defrauded here yet refuse to do anything about it. And yet, I am.

[Sam Fiorella @samfiorella]

@lttlewys @instagram @Meta Yeah, sux, and @instagram keeps allowing the SAME guys, with same email and phone number, continue to hack me and others. More important to have users than decent users, I guess.

[Sam Fiorella @samfiorella]

@jeffespo @instagram @Meta @DannyBrownCA You think that's the only reason? There's a long list. Well, it's not that long.

At least that's what she said.

[Sam Fiorella @samfiorella]

@jeffespo @instagram @Meta Appreciate the feedback. Interesting that everyday people are encouraging and trying to be helpful on @instagram's horrible customer service. They can't be bothered. Welcome to Mega Corporations.

[Sam Fiorella @samfiorella]

@jeffespo @instagram @Meta Becuase of my strict password policy, Instagram is the only account affected, luckily. Doubt they'll provide any assistance so I may walk away from IG altogether.

[Sam Fiorella @samfiorella]

@jeffespo @instagram @Meta Never. Have what seems like 1000s of passwords but all unique. IG has acknowledged the hack but sends a reset function that the hacker can intercept and preemptively blocking me in mid recovery. F-uped. Will look to the forum.

[Sam Fiorella @samfiorella]

@jeffespo @instagram @Meta Thanks, I do but didn't stop hacker from getting my account not once, but twice. Forum on FB?

[Sam Fiorella @samfiorella]

@WakingtheRed @FabrizioRomano He watched the match this weekend?

[Sam Fiorella @samfiorella]

@instagram Account hacked. Report process/video selfie returned acknowledgement of my claim but "reclaim link" didn't work. Acct disabled, now hacker has removed my phone/email so there are no more options for help. Where does one go now? Someone else is using my profile.

Social Media "boycotts" by big brands: Altruism or Marketing Gimic? Look forward to chatting with you all on @cbcradio: @cbckw891, @OttawaMorning, @metromorning, @cbcmarkus, @cbcdaybreak, @CBCSuperiorMorn, @lorenmcginnis, @cbceyeopener @cbcsaskatoon, @cbcearlyedition

"We wouldn't ask our customers to meet in a dark alley to do business; social media is starting to feel like that." Lush, Balenciaga, and others are "pulling back" from social media, recognizing the negative mental health impact on its customers. #socialmedia

@RababKhan Sigh.

[Sam Fiorella @samfiorella]

Yeah, so I've not been on Twitter for what seems like a decade but thanks to Instagram/WhatsApp self-combusting, I'm here, like, asking: What's new, guys? What have I missed?

@roythomsonhall With concerts happening again in October, what's the procedure/plan with masks/social distancing?

[Sam Fiorella @samfiorella]

@GMackWPG What a terrific young man.
