Instagram is in the process of changing a policy it uses to determine when accounts should be removed from its platform.

Rather than basing removals on percentage, Instagram will move to a hard number of violations.
An Instagram spokesperson said it would not specify that number, as it didn’t want bad actors to be able to formulate strategies to game the system.
