I discovered an endpoint that allowed me viewing posts from a private Instagram account revealed via collaborating with public accounts. I reported this to Meta BBP related to privacy issue but after few days Meta confirmed that this is intended behavior based on Collaboration feature. Therefore, this is not a vulnerability

## POC
