“On Monday morning, ThinkProgress reported on the existence of an Instagram account that went live around the time Facebook began removing hundreds of Russia-linked accounts in August.

Facebook did not return requests for comment, and the “Raised in Texas” account failed to answer ThinkProgress’s questions before it disappeared.”
