Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook have policies that the users must abide by or pay the price of being suspended or permanently banned.

Here are some of the most famous social media bans:

Adele

The account still remains suspended for the glorification of violence.

Claiming that a vaccine for Covid-19 had already been found, the 62-year-old singer revealed that the vaccine has been hidden for money. Furthermore, Instagram blurred out the video with a caption saying: “False Information”.
