Adult performers are slamming Instagram over what they claim is unfair enforcement of the platform’s community guidelines on nudity and sexual content. BBC reports that at least 1,300 adult performers say their profiles have been deleted by Instagram despite not ever showing nudity or sex. Performers say their posts are subject to a double-standard and that similar images posted by users who aren’t in the porn industry are allowed to remain on the platform without scrutiny.
Adult performers protested outside of Instagram’s office to draw attention to the unfair treatment. Rallies led to discussions between performers and the platform, but while some performers have gotten their accounts reinstated after filing a complaint with Instagram, the platform and its parent company Facebook have continued to draw a hard line over adult performers and sexual content on their sites. Other major platforms have also begun to reject nudity, including Tumblr which made the controversial decision to ban porn and sexual content.
