Someone has been harassing me, and attached a screenshot of my <em>private<\/em> Instagram story I posted in an anonymous email to my in-laws, which proves that my harasser is, or at least was, one of my followers.<\/p>\n<p>We are preparing legal action, and I am trying to collect proof that my Instagram account was private on the date the screenshot of the story was made. The only issue is that the bulk data I downloaded is contradictory:<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 <strong>profile_privacy_changes.html<\/strong> indicates that my profile <em>switched to public<\/em> on Sep 26, nothing else. This seems to indicate that my profile is currently public, but I am certain the exact opposite happened. I also certainly didn&#8217;t change my privacy settings after downloading my Instagram data.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 <strong>profile_activity.html<\/strong> is the only other record of the profile privacy settings change, but only says <em>&#8220;Is profile private? True&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2013 <strong>personal_information.html<\/strong> also correctly displays that my account currently private.<\/p>\n<p>Does someone know if this is a bug and whether <em>switched to public<\/em> in <strong>profile_privacy_changes.html<\/strong> actually means the opposite, namely that I switched my profile from public to private?<\/p>\n<p>Thank you!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/Key_Measurement6787\"> \/u\/Key_Measurement6787 <\/a> <br \/> <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/datasets\/comments\/1w15yx4\/question_of_legal_importance_how_to_interpret\/\">[link]<\/a><\/span>   <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/datasets\/comments\/1w15yx4\/question_of_legal_importance_how_to_interpret\/\">[comments]<\/a><\/span><\/p><div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-right'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-42371 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='42371' data-nonce='7f483321c1' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Like' \/><span class='lc-42371 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div> <div class='status-42371 status align-right'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi friends, I have had a private Instagram page for about a year now.
