Whilst Facebook and Instagram are limiting the posts of great artists such as Harry Holland and shadowbanning this group meaning that no one new gets to see the posts Facebook is actively encouraging reels of a highly sexual nature featuring young females with not much on, 'camel toe' videos, up short shots and clips such as this downblouse with nipple example.
I've reported a feed that had a female with baggy shorts and no knickers and yes her vagina was visible. Facebook did get back to me but they said no rules had been broken. I've reported the above downblouse clip twice, once as adult nudity and the second as child nudity and so far, 36 and 24 hours later, nothing...
Over at Twitter Elon Musk has made it his early aim to remove child porn from the platform whilst it is clear that at Facebook they are allowing, and must indeed be encouraging by not shadowbanning, creators to push the limits of whatever rules Facebook have.
I complain not from some Puritan sensibility but from the knowledge that there is not a level playing field here, after all, why persecute art and artists but allow the exploitation of global youth? I complain because I seek parity with these creators for Life Drawing Wales and artists like Harry Holland. I complain as I don’t want teenagers bouncing on trampolines with their breasts or arse as the main focus of my feed. I complain as Life Drawing Wales as a business suffers due to Facebook shadowbanning whilst those who post sexualised images and videos of young girls gain followers and hundreds of thousands of likes.
Harry Holland is at risk of being kicked off Instagram and will likely be kicked off if he posts more fully nude oil paintings. Life Drawing Wales has been warned on numerous occasions that we are at risk of being removed from the platform.
But young girls with their nipples out on Facebook? Good to go!
