NAME: Laura
CENSORSHIP: Ad ban

What reason was given for your ban?

They said it was pornography.

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

My ad was censored because I used the venus of willendorf image (a prehistoric figurine).

Were you able to appeal and what was the response?

Of course, 3 times. They stood by their decision.

What effect has your experience of censorship had on you?

I feel bad knowing my body is seen only as pornography.

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

If Ii cannot share my body with my own positive meaning, then censorship means that the current meaning of my body will remain. That it is only associated with porn and sexuality.
