Some Instagram accounts appear to be actively selling illegal substances like MDMA, according to a report by the Tech Transparency Project.

espite some safety changes and growing political pressure, young Instagram users can still quickly gain access to drug-related content, new research shows.

A spokesperson for Meta, Instagram’s parent company, said the accounts identified by the Tech Transparency Project had been disabled. “We don’t allow the sale of illicit drugs and our systems detect and remove over 96% of violating drug content before people report it,” the spokesperson says. The new Tech Transparency Project research highlights the thorny nature of Instagram’s dilemma. It has taken some measures to clean up its app and better protect young users, but the platform remains a place susceptible to misuse and rule-breaking—where Instagram, seeking to police a place with roughly 1 billion monthly users, moves to quash one problem and another arise someplace else.
