Daniel Hill

Medium: Photography

Censored by: Instagram

Was there a notification of removal or downranking, and if so what was the reason given?: "Content cannot be recommended" which results in downgrading and shadow ban of my account.

What date was your artwork removed or downranked?: March 25, 2024

Were you given an opportunity to appeal? If so, did you appeal, and if so, what was the response?: Yes, the requests takes days and then are simply reset, allowing to appeal again. It never works.

What consequences have you faced as a result of the downranking or removal? Please describe in detail: Anxiety and shadow ban, loss of exposure. As an artist, this is critical to be seen and discovered. New followers cannot find my account when typing in my user name.

Please write any additional comments: My work critically examines works from great photographers such as Duane Michals and Robert Mapplethorpe. The accounts for those two artist post nearly exact or similar works but are not shadow banned (you can tell by searching for them from an account that does not follow them).
