Sophia Wallace Instagram – The joyful reel I made marching with inflatable sculptures at the #nycdykemarch last week was censored. I remade the reel from scratch after the original was deleted completely (reel, data, comments). The only trace of the censorship is in the wonky grid with 2 posts of the march, not 3). According to @instagram @meta @facebook the content “violated community guidelines” that prohibit “hate speech and symbols”. What? Is it the art 🚫 or the dykes 🚫 or rather our 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 public assembly en mass for pride that Meta cannot abide? Please support my appeal to educate these algorithms and content reviewers, so that they can distinguish between lgbtq pride vs. hate speech, intersectional, feminist art vs. symbols to incite violence. The experience of being censored has happened to me and so many of my art peers REPEATEDLY across digital platforms for YEARS. We have had no recourse. Only now, is there an oversight board that I can actually appeal to. It will be interesting to see how long this video is allowed to exist. I will keep you all posted. #censored #censorship #bigtechcensorship #algorithm #breakthebias #algorithmskillart #algorithmsofoppression #algoritmoinstagram #algorithmsoflatecapitalism | Posted on 20/Jul/2023 21:16:49
