Instagram restores Sarah’s account. The following pictures shows an email exchange between @streganessa and her contact. While the email’s subject is “Instagram Account Hacked", @streganessa clarifies that the account was not hacked. Rather, Instagram suspended it for bullying and harrassment.
Sarah publicly credits a man for restoring her account. One of @streganessa’s friends, a person of color, messages Sarah expressing disappointment in Sarah's failure to credit @streganessa for her work. Sarah posts the person of color’s message, and her response to it, as a story on her Instagram. Sarah incorrectly identifies the person as a "white girl".
