Some people think LBGTQ censorship on social media is the result of an unreliable algorithm — but others allege the platforms specifically target marginalized bodies
The legislation has been a source of tremendous concern for sex workers, says Chelsea Poe, a transgender porn performer and filmmaker who has faced censorship on Instagram. Sex workers with large followings have been increasingly scrubbed from the platform without explanation, according to afrom more than 200 adult performers demanding Instagram provide more clarity to its user policies.
Following the passage of FOSTA/SESTA, some expressed concern that the legislation would have a chilling effect not just on sex workers, but on LGBTQ people who have relied on digital platforms to forge communities, who worried the mere mention of sex or their sexual identities might put them at risk of being penalized by an undiscriminating artificial intelligence program.
As the pressure increases on big tech to eradicate any hint of sexualized content, Claire is concerned that publications such as Salty, which are heavily reliant on platforms like Instagram,will be collateral damage. “Sex workers have said that SESTA/FOSTA would affect people who weren’t sex workers as well,” she says. “And I think that’s what’s happening.” People like del Valle, who has set up a new Instagram, will also continue to challenge censorship efforts.
eople like me in the industry will use our voices to fight this and not let our bodies and voices be silenced by whatever agenda is in place to remove us,” he says.
