Fake accounts tend to alter the concepts of popularity and influence on the Instagram media platform and significantly impact the economy, politics, and society, which is considered cybercrime.

Holy clickbait. I thought they would be talking about actual crimes related to fake accounts.

Making fake accounts is not considered a cybercrime by reasonable humans or even by the injustice system. At worst it's a TOS violation...

And even if it is somehow a "crime", nobody cares. That's a waste of policing resources.

Totally disagree: fake accounts can have a huge impact in swaying online discourse and setting mindsets and trends. There is hard evidence that some state actors invest large amount of resources on this (Russia, China, Israel, USA). They threaten democracy and banning them should be a priority.
