A streamer named "SquidGame" is banned from Instagram over the Netflix show that he long predated...

It feels as if everyone’s been watching Squid Game, a Korean TV drama about wage disparity and the general anxieties of modern life.

In the show, people who owe massive debts are rounded up and asked to take part in a series of deadly games. Every time someone is killed, the piggy bank fills up, until there’s one left standing. There can be only one winner. Yogscast member Lydia Ellery has been going by the handle ‘SquidGame’ for years now without an issue. The creation of her social media accounts far predates Netflix’s show. However, as soon as the show burst into the zeitgeist, she began receiving messages from fans, asking why she had the official Squid Game account on Instagram.

This all came to a head yesterday when Instagram blocked Ellery’s account.
