Instagram does not allow nudity and sexually abusive posts as per the platform policy. Accordingly, after years of temporary suspensions, Instagram permanently banned Pornhub’s account last September.
Instagram’s ban policy is discussed
After this long ban, the Instagram page of the website that produces adult content was activated last weekend. While it was stated that the page was activated after a mistake, Pornhub’s Instagram account was closed again on Tuesday.
The accidental reopening of a permanently banned Instagram account led to the re-questioning of Instagram’s moderation system. The reliability of Instagram has also started to be discussed due to the error that caused a completely closed site to be reopened by mistake.
On the other hand, the website that produces adult content also expresses its discomfort in this regard. A spokesperson for the site accused Instagram of arbitrarily and selectively enforcing its content ban standards. A spokesperson for the company interpreted Meta and Instagram’s policies as haphazard and illogical. Pornhub also shared a long and incriminating post after their Instagram page was permanently banned in September.
In the US, 2018 introduced important laws restricting social media platforms against adult content and harassment. Most of the accounts of people and organizations that produce adult content are banned indefinitely on social media platforms for this reason.
In this process, it is planned to prevent the creation of content about child abuse. According to research conducted in 2021, Meta reported more than 22 million child abuse content on Facebook and 3 million on Instagram.
Instagram and Facebook apply very strict rules for adult content pages, especially after laws enacted in the USA. So what do you think about this issue? You can share your views with us in the comments section.
