Anti-sex activists are picking off sex workers on Instagram—and Instagram is letting them.
In the grand scheme of things, losing a social media account seems relatively harmless. Although platforms often prohibit “ban evasion,” in most cases, you can simply create another one. But rebuilding your platform is not so simple, and a suspension often means the sudden loss of years’ worth of memories.
Even after restoration, suspension leaves an indelible mark on Instagram accounts, making them more likely to face suspension again, the former Meta employee said. And this scarlet letter doesn’t only affect new content; trolls can comb through older content that was in compliance with community guidelines when it was initially published and report it now. The former employee suggested sex workers regularly review their old posts and captions, if not remove them entirely.
Hillinger remained in Instagram limbo for weeks, despite her having a contact at Meta to escalate her appeal. First suspended on March 23, her account was restored the next day—before getting suspended again the day after that. It was reinstated for the second time on March 27, but was suspended for the third time on the 30th. After being restored on April 3, she was suspended in under two weeks on April 4. Her account remains active after its fourth restoration on April 7—for now, at least.
