Censor explains why his Instagram account was \u201crandomly\u201d deleted Call of Duty pro and content creator Doug \u201cCensor\u201d Martin has revealed the backstory behind the sudden disappearance of his Instagram account, which mysteriously went offline on January 1. The noted YouTuber, streamer, and New York Subliners substitute announced that his account had been deleted via Twitter on January 3, appearing to be completely perplexed as to why it had \u201crandomly\u201d gone offline. While he had the full use of his other social media outlets, no word was given as to the reason for his Instagram\u2019s deletion until the next day. On January 4, Censor uploaded a video explaining the scenario, claiming that he never received an email or notification from the platform concerning the matter. However, it doesn\u2019t look like Censor broke the site\u2019s Terms of Service: instead, it seems that his account went offline due to changing his account name to @Censor, after parting ways with esports giant FaZe Clan in October 2018. \u201cI thought it was the weirdest thing,\u201d he explained. \u201cI changed my name on Instagram to @Censor. The OG @Censor. It took me five years. I finally got the name.\u201d According to the CoD pro, Instagram effectively \u201cmerged\u201d his old account with his new one, and when the process was complete, deleted his account altogether \u2014 but he\u2019s hopeful that the page will return on Monday, January 6. \u201cThey take the account \u2018@Censor,\u2019 which is the account that I had, and they download all of my followers onto the account, and then they merge that account with my new account,\u201d he continued. \u201c\u2026I\u2019m assuming that the account got processed, and because of that, it got deleted.\u201d My instagram account is GONE pic.twitter.com\/AsJSWhIJ6Q \u2014 Doug Censor Martin (@Censor) January 4, 2020 The star went on to ask for help from other verified account holders on the platform, as he claimed the process might be limited to verified personalities. For now, fans will have to wait for his regular workout videos \u2014 but the good news is that his account will hopefully be up and running very soon (with the original name, at that).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
