Tekashi 6ix9ine Won’t Have Instagram Account Deleted For Alleged Policy Violation
Tekashi 6ix9ine has been given a second chance on social media after his account came under threat of deletion for alleged violation of Instagram policies.
The 24-year-old was in legal troubles before he was thrown in jail for committing a variety of crimes – at the age of 18 he was found guilty of Use of a Child in a Sexual Performance.
According to sources, the big question has been asked at the headquarters of some of the biggest social media platforms including Facebook, as to whether the rapper should be given access to an account to promote his brand.
Policies from the social media giant, that is the parent company to Instagram, say that sex offenders are banned from their platforms, and in light of that, his account was put under review. In a new update from Instagram, 69 doesn’t violate their sex offenders policy, in their view.
Due to the Manhattan D.A. confirming the Tekashi was adjudicated as a Youthful Offender during his 2015 case, the policy only applies to those run through the legal system as adult offenders.
Earlier this week, he posted on Instagram, “You can’t stop me. You can’t blackmail me.” amongst a speel about his music.
