Any reasonably reliable and fast communication medium "has a drug problem".
Sounds like a solution rather than a problem.

What is the problem with people buying things they want?

Also, when did Instagram become charged with enforcing the law? It's the responsibility of police and the government to enforce the law, who have apparently abdicated their snooping into people's private lives for a brief moment.

We can generalize the crypto version to:

"If your product isn't used by terrorists and drug dealers then it's not much of a success."

>What is the problem with people buying things they want?

They don't buy specifically because they want it out of reasonable desire, but because of the drug-induced, unreasonable feeling of need, addiction for short.

No wonder they recently launched a money transfer service!
Drugs are not well-accepted here in the US. I don't think Instagram should be flamed for being the problem for promoting drugs to the public. Should rather blame the drug users, the ones with weak will power, for starting this drug problem in the first place.
