> She was banned repeatedly, which does make it feel a little extortion-esque, akin to the cop throwing you back in prison so you can bribe him again.
She was probably also violating policies repeatedly (e.g. sexual nudity).
I think viewing this situation as a case of a purely unidirectional power dynamic is an ideologically-motivated falsehood. She's got one kind of power, the Facebook employees have another kind, and it's unclear who (if anyone) is on the loosing end.
I mean, she claims she was literally hunting for Facebook employees to achieve her goals (likely to not suffer the usual consequence for policy violations). It's also quite possible that the employees she successfully used could get fired on account of the situation she consciously engineered. This also has one of the hierarchy or duty-of-care dynamics that you'd have in a school or workplace setting.

Yeah, and if you check her IG page, as of today it explicitly states that she is looking for TikTok employees now, probably for the exact same purpose (but that one is just a speculation on my part).
As a sidenote, on her twitter she referred to the whole incident as "When Instagram tried to cuck me so I took my power back"[0].
EDIT: looks like her IG went private at some point earlier today, so I cannot see that statement about TikTok there anymore (and no, I am not going to request to follow her account just to find that one post).
