Today I am joining everybodyvisible in ending censorship of art on social media.
On this
#internationalinternetday we want to voice our concerns and bring them to the attention of the people who run Instagram. We request clear guidelines, equally-applied ‘community standards’, right of appeal, and an urgent review into algorithmic bias disproportionately affecting the visibility of women, femme-presenting people, LGBTQIA folx, people of color, sex workers, dancers, athletes, fitness fans, artists, photographers & body-positive Instagram users.
We tag Instagram chiefs
