Pete Evans: Instagram ban for Australian chef over conspiracy theories – By BBC News Staff (BBC News) / Feb 17 2021
Australian celebrity chef Pete Evans has been banned from Instagram, weeks after his Facebook page was removed for repeatedly sharing misinformation about the coronavirus.
Facebook, which owns Instagram, said: “We don’t allow anyone to share misinformation about Covid-19.”
