"destroys six years of work building a community that exists both online and in real life"
"Sexquisite isn't just a brand - it's a network, a support system, a space where sex workers finally get to exist without shame. Sex work is still extremely stigmatised, and those follower numbers were proof of legitimacy, reach, cultural relevance and impact. Removing that overnight doesn't just erase social media, it erases opportunity, visibility and safety."
"isn't moderation, it's erasure"
Meta acknowledged a January technical error that removed inoffensive LGBTQ+ posts. Several queer-inclusive UK organisations report Instagram accounts deleted without warning, leaving creatives without networking and income pathways. Appeals were rejected within eight minutes with no human review. Cybertease, UK Sex Worker Pride, and the Sexquisite Podcast lost a combined 52,000 followers across deleted accounts. Maedb Joy said the deletion destroys six years of work and removes legitimacy, visibility, safety, and opportunities for sex workers. Repro Uncensored recorded over 30 account erasures in one week and notes marginalised groups face harsher enforcement and fewer reinstatement pathways.
