Pornhub’s Instagram Is a Major Casualty in the War on Porn - GoFuckYourself.com

TheLegacy · 11-30-2022, 06:35 AM

Instagram’s recent Pornhub ban is the latest offensive in the platform’s all-out war against sex workers, who say their accounts are often targeted for deletion with very little explanation.

The social media platform deleted the streamer’s official account around Sept. 3, despite the fact that the profile did not feature any sexually explicit content that would have violated its terms of service. Instagram did not respond to questions about why it took down the profile, which had over 13 million followers at the time of its removal, according to Variety.

In a statement to The Daily Beast, Pornhub said its account has only been disabled temporarily due to Instagram’s “overly cautious censoring of the adult industry.” It added, “We look forward to our account being reactivated, as it always has.”

It was the first ban of this magnitude for the porn industry, but the issue of disappearing accounts is one that individual performers and OnlyFans models have grown accustomed to as sectors from technology to finance look to cut ties with sex work. In order to make money, performers have to promote their work, but they must also do so within the undefined parameters set by the world’s biggest social media company. Any slip-up, no matter how small or unintentional, could mean years of work and tens of thousands of dollars down the drain. Several performers tell The Daily Beast that they believe the process is automated, with no person on the other end to appeal to.

Nevvy Cakes, 21, has had at least five Instagram accounts deleted since January 2021. That month, the app took down her page for the first time. The independent performer, who also posts on the uncensored websites OnlyFans and LoyalFans, had close to 600,000 followers on Instagram. She says she’d spent over $100,000 in promotional posts on other profiles to bolster her follower count.

“When it got deleted, there was nothing on my page that was sexual,” she said. “I believe my income dropped by at least 30 percent. Thank god I went viral a couple times on Twitter so I made that money back.”

Instagram’s community guidelines explicitly ban nudity. But neither that, nor the platform’s terms of use, prevent someone from being a sex worker and promoting their work on their page. Sister company Facebook, on the other hand, says “suggestive elements” like “sexual emojis,” certain poses, or links to outside websites that feature porn may comprise a violation of its rules.

“Since the 2020 update, their terms of use are much stricter about what counts as suggestive content,” says Madita Oeming, an independent scholar from Germany who specializes in porn studies. “They phrased it so vaguely that they basically get to randomly decide what is okay and what isn’t. My content has been deleted multiple times since, even though I’m just an educator. I constantly need to censor myself in order to not be censored by them by writing s€x and p0rn in my posts, for example.”

Marcela Alonso says she’s steered clear of Instagram’s aggressive censorship by keeping her page “PG.”

They don't allow adult. It's quite clear. Why is this an issue?

Mind you though I've seen some pretty "almost" porn stuff on Insta and still can. Seems girls that have TikTok use it a lot for promotion. Twitter is still filled and I see some old pornstars still promoting their links and webcams.

It amazes me how dumb many people in adult are about their own industry.

Local "fitness influencers" show more skin than this.

It's an issue for idiots who don't understand that a popular social network largely used by kids doesn't want to be associated with porn sites, no matter what pictures they post.

Clearly you're not very bright, but there's tons of pages with names like "travel porn" and "food porn", etc. The word isn't banned.

No wonder you're sigwhoring.

See? This is the sort of idiots I was speaking about.

Quoting that article (as if 8.5% in case of 13-17 was a low number):

In fact, overall, Instagram is Gen Z’s favorite social platform. Global internet users aged 16 to 24 prefer Instagram to other social platforms — yep, even ranking it above TikTok. If that’s an age cohort you’re looking to reach (hey, kids!), Insta is apparently the place to be.

Quote:

And according to a poll by Pew Research Center, 11% of U.S. parents say their 9-11 year-olds use Instagram. “How is that possible?” you may be wondering, out loud. “Doesn’t Instagram require account holders to be at least 13 years old?” This is true, but younger users can run accounts managed by parents or guardians — good news if you want to impress some tweens with your engaging Instagram content.

Explanation for this retard:
By engaging content, they don't mean Pornhub.

Okay

It has less to do with what the content is, than what your intentions with your promotion. We all just try to be clever enough to skirt by and hope we don't get caught. You get angry about it if you would like.

This apparently it's hard to comprehend how foodporn can survive while pornhub cannot. Lol
