Megan Barton Hanson has sent a fierce warning to Instagram officials after a concerned fan had reached out to inform her she’d been “shadow banned” from the site.
The Love Island star, 28, appeared to be furious as she hit back at the social media platform after one of her followers had handed over evidence that she could no longer find the reality babe on the app.
Dishing out warning, the unknown messenger first shared a screen shot to highlight what happened when typing Megan’s name into the search bar.
The informant also penned: “Hey lovely, Instagram are 100 percent shadow banning you as you don’t come up when I search for you, which means you aren’t being promoted in the algorithms either.”
They added: “It’s so sad x.”
Shadow banning, also known as stealth banning or ghost banning is the practice of blocking or partially blocking content from areas of the online community.
The idea of making users less prominent, is believed to provide hope is that the account owner will leave the site after receiving less interaction.

Having realised that admirers were unable to find her easily, Megan hit back slamming Instagram for “punishing women.”
In response, the reality star wrote: “@instagram just out here punishing women for making a career from their OWN bodies,” along with an annoyed face.

More recently, Megan teamed up with Kate Moss’ little sister Lottie for a scorching hot Easter photoshoot.
The twosome who have made mega sums of cash from their racy OnlyFans profiles have stuck together in the fight against those criticising the sex worker industry.
Last year the ITV star took a stand at Halloween, dressing up as Vivian Ward from Pretty Woman to prove a point.
Along with the captivating image, she wrote: “This year, I’ve spoken increasingly openly about the liberation of sex workers given the popularity of OnlyFans and the debate around exclusive content sites, so this year, I am honouring myself and all sex workers with a Vivian Ward outfit.
“It feels like we have made some progress, but there is still such a long way to go. Happy Halloween to you all, here’s to healthier, and more liberated sexual culture.”
