I lost many pictures of loved ones (some that I'll never see again), and art works that have since been destroyed.
Clotilde Petrosino — Fine Art Photographer
The second time this happened, it is weird. Because there was no nudity... they blocked me saying that the Images are showing too much body...
Kit King — Painter
How are artists like me who rely on social media supposed to gain traction and support and make a living when these very platforms are shutting us down? I'm agoraphobic — I don't leave my house — all I have to promote my art is social media.
Strella Sapphire — Model, Musician, Artist, Stylist, Photographer and Writer
When I posted a photo of myself in a hot tub, without a bathing top, the photo was flagged and removed, stating that IG was keeping the platform "safe." I was not given any explanation for why my photo was considered unsafe and was neither asked to remove the photo myself or given the opportunity to speak with anyone regarding my posted photo.
The Ljilja — Photographic Artist
If Instagram’s reason for that reporting part is to exclude pornography from IG why artists are NOT being protected? Why are there so many hate filled, bulimic and self-harm accounts BUT my account is going to be reported? I don’t see any logic here.
