Mohita Nair (@mohitamusic) publicly reports that Instagram restricted her newly created account on 1 July 2026 — blocking the ability to view other people's followers until 2 July 2026 — reportedly because "the account, or activity on it, may deceive others to take their money, property or personal information"; the new account was created after her original @mohitamusic account was permanently disabled (PA-2026-0070).

This is a distinct enforcement action against the successor account created after the terminal disable documented in PA-2026-0070, and extends the post-disable identity-level enforcement pattern: where earlier successor accounts were suspended within an hour of creation, this one survived roughly a week before receiving a feature-level restriction. Continued elevated enforcement against a recreated account is consistent with identity-signal matching operating above the account layer. The cited reason — fraud/deception ("may deceive others to take their money, property or personal information") — is applied to a days-old account of a working musician with no visible commerce activity, and the notice does not identify what activity triggered it; the reporter attributes it to scrolling reels. The policy citation also differs from the "account integrity" citation attached to the original disable, continuing the pattern of inconsistent policy attribution across related enforcement events against the same identity. Notably, this is the first temporary, feature-scoped restriction with a platform-stated end date (ends 2 July 2026) in the dataset's 72 records — all prior records document terminal, suspension, lock, or content-level actions.
