Instagram deletes university ‘COVID parties’ account

Instagram has deleted an account that claimed to throw “COVID parties” at Arizona State University (ASU) after the university sued Facebook and the owner of the account on Thursday 20 August on allegations that the account improperly used the university’s logos and trademarks, reports Associated Press.

“We have removed the account in question for violating our policies,” a spokesperson for Facebook, Instagram’s owner, told the Arizona Republic. “We disagree that the account infringes any trademark rights ASU might have.”

It is unclear who ran the account. ASU’s lawsuit names “John Doe aka ‘asu_covid.parties’” as the defendant alongside Facebook.
