What is the cause of severe Instagram disorder?

Some users of the social network Instagram have stated that they are not able to upload photos and videos, and some people think that this Instagram disorder is the first signs of permanent filtering. There have been rumors about filtering this social network before.

Arvan cloud system as an independent source and in order to increase the transparency of the country’s Internet information, provides users with information about Iran’s communication network and its online infrastructure. The information of this radar indicates the existence of disruptions in 13 high-traffic data centers such as AsiaTek, Irancell, Hamrah-e-Aval, Web, Respina, Afrant and Mobinnet in cities such as Tehran, Mashhad and Isfahan.

According to the latest reports published by this system, the most platform involved in this disorder was Instagram. In the diagram above, the colored lines indicate a disturbance in a data center. The pink line in this diagram indicates the existence of disruption in Instagram and in cities such as Tehran, Mashhad and Isfahan.

An IT expert has said about the global disruption of Instagram:

Over the past several months, there have been many challenges and crises due to the renaming of Facebook to meta and the change of use of this platform. In fact, increased traffic leads to disruption.

Sina Tafangchi further said about Instagram filter:

The occurrence of such disorders can not be attributed to the creation of a national communication network or filtering. Instagram disorders are two-sided; One aspect is the meta platform infrastructure and the other aspect is the reduction of international Internet bandwidth.

He believes that the slowdown in the international Internet has a significant impact on the loading of this social network, and with the elimination of bandwidth capacity shortages, the story will end to some extent. According to the gunman:

Given that the implementation of the user protection plan has been delayed and the Minister of Communications has just started working on messengers, the government does not seem to be trying to filter social networks.
