It\u2019s become de facto the platform to reach potential employers or clients for many in the entertainment industry and the best way to display their wares. But Facebook has been under intense scrutiny after the innumerable high profile scandals, stretching from election-swaying fake news to violent images, terrorist content, and child pornography getting past its moderators. In consequence Facebook (which owns Instagram) has taken a tougher and tougher stance in terms of moderating content, including content that might be deemed \u2018adult\u2019.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bt6xnnpA1Br\/\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\"><a style=\"background: #FFFFFF; line-height: 0; padding: 0 0; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; width: 100%;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bt6xnnpA1Br\/\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n <\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bt6xnnpA1Br\/\" target=\"_blank\">A post shared by Izunia?

Many argue that the platform\u2019s confusing and unclear guidelines as well as their next-to-no customer service meant that users have been left the source of their livelihoods stripped from them without any explanation when their Instagram is suspended or deleted.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to the Guardian one adult performer, Amber Lynn, described her experience when her 100,000 follower-strong account was deleted. \u00a0\u201cI sent [Instagram] multiple emails through my lawyer and they will still not tell me why they did it,\u201d she said. \u201cThey do not answer you, do not give you an opportunity to correct any problems or even tell you what problems they had to begin with so you can avoid it in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last week\u2019s protests ended with a spokesperson from Instagram meeting with the Guild and reinstating many of the deleted accounts. But whilst many of the accounts were supposedly taken down because they were repeat offenders in terms of posting nude content (which falls outside Instagram\u2019s guidelines) the Adult Performers Actors Guild maintains that they were discriminated against because of their profession. In fact, according to the lawyers for the guild, there are grounds for a class action lawsuit against Instagram on behalf of adult performers and entertainers.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\"><p>Thanks for your calls on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/XpandedTV?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@XpandedTV<\/a> so much filthy fun ? \u2764? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/a2pZQzEQOU\">pic.twitter.com\/a2pZQzEQOU<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Maria Smith ?

The problem arguably can be traced to Instagram\u2019s slowness to acknowledge the important role it plays within people\u2019s careers and professional lives, and how the removal of one of its\u00a0 accounts can be devastating.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason too adult performers have begun to increasingly move away from Instagram (or at least to use it differently) and to the likes of platforms such as Only Fans that allow for adult content as well as for performers to set up subscription packages that allow them to operate with confidence in the knowledge that their content will reach fans whilst not reaching minors given it&#8217;s age verified as well as allowing any type of content they like.<\/p>\n<p>However, the ubiquity of Instagram means that performers still need it, and if the last two months are anything to go by, Instagram has a problem on its hands as pornstars and models join together in calling out the platform\u2019s treatment of them as a group.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week adult performers, pornstars, and models made the news in a somewhat uncharacteristic way.
