With the increasing progress of technology, we see the creation of various internet applications and programs and their useful uses, but this also has many disadvantages. In cyberspace, especially Instagram, there are many people who create fake accounts and engage in harassment, publishing private pictures of others, spreading lies and rumors, threats and even fraud.
It should be noted that some say that these networks, because they are foreign networks, cannot file complaints against these wrongdoers, and these complaints will not have any results.
But in principle, this is not the case and this crime can be pursued in the computer crimes court and all the cases that will be discussed. In this article, we will discuss how to file a complaint, the time it takes to file a complaint, the competent court to handle the complaint, and finally, the necessary documents for the complaint.
First of all, keep in mind that you can complain about the account that has caused you trouble on Instagram, in this situation, it does not matter if that account is currently available or not, but it is important that you have a screenshot or proof of the messages.
