NAME: Efe
CENSORSHIP: Shadow ban

What reason was given for your ban?

No reason – community guidelines I guess.

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

I guess it was AI – programmed but not seeing reality and the truth.

Were you able to appeal and what was the response?

Yes, I did. No response

What effect has your experience of censorship had on you?

I did fight back! I worked on lightroom to alter my image to a legend photographer’s (passed years ago) image which the platform published, and It got published that time.

Today, what I feel when posting something is that; my freedom to create is being questioned. It limits me. It is also like being ashamed that someone thinks you did something wrong, but you know you didn’t.

Lastly, I feel like a burglar entered my home and stole something from me.

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

I want photography books, magazines and human editors back!
