Chris24's experience with Instagram account deactivation due to alleged trademark infringement by Richemont, specifically concerning personal watch photos, raises critical questions about content ownership and platform moderation. This incident, which even involved images of non-Cartier watches like Panerai and JLC, highlights the opaque processes users face when their accounts are unexpectedly impacted. The community discussion delves into the complexities of AI algorithms, corporate responsibility, and the challenges of seeking recourse from tech giants.










Anyone experience the same?

3 of my posts on Instagram reported by Richemont for infringement of Cartier trademark, the email who filed the report looks like an outsourced company call Corsearch dot com

This resulted mh IG account was deactivated

All my emails to the reporting email address are not reply

And my disagreement to IG also no news.

I seriously don’t understand how can my personal photo of my and my friend watches can infringed the Cartier trademark
2 photos were not even Cartier watch but panerai and jlc!

Out of curiosity, were all the hashtags mentioned above part of your posting or part of the reply from the copyright block? The reason I’m wondering is what “triggered” the AI algorithm? I would defer to the many legally trained minds in this forum but would tend to believe that (non-professional) usage of the pictures of the watches you own can hardly be seen as copyright infringement …. but would love to hear the professional opinions 🤨 Please keep us posted if you hear anything new / any deve
