NAME: Maggie Loar
CENSORSHIP: Shadow & content ban

What reason was given for your ban?

Nudity.

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

I tagged #onlyfans.  Because I was sending people to my Onlyfans, but my modeling page gathers more attention for artistic and beauty photos than erotic photos.

Were you able to appeal and what was the response?

No

What effect has your experience of censorship had on you?

I was gaining a big following, and my page was growing and then it started decreasing – I get fewer gigs. I’m more careful about posting. My agency tells me they have to be very careful about which photos they share.

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

It’s frustrating.

But these platforms still allow me to share my work with people who appreciate it, even if they’re limiting me drastically, there are still connections and opportunities I find through Instagram for which I’m grateful. Still, I do wish it was less of a fight.
