Someone is posting women’s private photos on Instagram Stories – what can be done?

r/

Hi everyone,
I need some advice regarding a really serious issue. There is a man on Instagram who keeps posting other women’s pictures in his Stories. These include screenshots from adult websites mixed together with their real-life social media photos, and he adds fake names or comments that expose/dox them.

Some women have already asked him to remove it, but he just mocks them and refuses. It feels like targeted harassment, shaming, and doxxing.

I already submitted a legal report to Instagram through their official form (with screenshots as evidence), but I’m wondering:

  • Has anyone else dealt with a similar situation?
  • Does Instagram usually act quickly on such reports?
  • Is there anything else I can do to make sure they take this seriously (for example, additional legal steps or other reporting channels)?

I’m from the EU (Latvia), so GDPR/privacy rights apply here too. Any advice or shared experience would help a lot. Thank you ❤️
