Add Instagram as a proof of identity #8901

Hello there 👋

I use Keybase to chat with my wife - she doesn't use Twitter or GitHub, so she really can't get an avatar without setting up that account. In theory allowing Facebook as an image source, would also work too. For her though her "main digital identity" is tied to instagram.

Scraping the instagram account for the verification text should be fine via their website: https://www.instagram.com/orta/

Not a blocker for us, I'll set her GitHub account properly maybe

Yes :)

This would also support sex workers who frequently get de-platformed, and need to create new accounts before predatory scammers take advantage of the confusion of the deletion, as described here: https://www.vice.com/en_ca/article/3kjawb/sex-workers-say-theyre-being-pushed-off-social-media-platforms

(Edit: Though perhaps keybase has the same legal obligation, now that I think about it...)

Bumping this once again, this would be an excellent addition!
