PLATFORM & USERNAME: @alarconadrian
CENSORSHIP: Account, Content Ban, Shadow Ban

What reason was given for your ban?

Pornography or solicitation.

Why do you think your post(s) was censored?

Because queer sexuality is always erased on Instagram or sometimes people report it.

Were you able to appeal and what was the response?

Sometimes they put the post back because it was ok. Once they completely erased one account with no notice or ability to have it back.

What effect has your experience of censorship had on you?

I have more followers than likes, I have or profiles I reach with my posts, but you can’t find my profile when you type my name because of the shadow banning.

What’s one thing you want people to know about this topic?

Sexuality is not something bad, naked bodies are not pornography.
