A campaigner has said she is hoping to change Instagram’s policies and close a legal “loophole” to prevent other people from being impersonated in fake social media accounts.

Jamie Klingler, co-founder of Reclaim These Streets, described how she was targeted by an unknown person who created a fake Instagram page in her name and posted explicit images of an unknown woman pretending to be her and directing people to a pornographic website, which was also fake.
