TikTok’s “For You” page – the platform’s version of Instagram’s “Explore” page – seems to be moved by a commitment to avoid filter bubbles and limiting content’s growth. week I became a #dr in #criminology & a #poledancer #WAP – With A #PhD! You can learn this #polechoreo & more via my in bio 🥰 ♬ original sound – bloggeronpole If you read this blog, you probably know that I did a viral in February, reaching about 70,000 TikTok followers at the time, and that as a result a bunch of users who hated my content because they found it didn’t belong on TikTok started flagging it as a way to better curate their feeds. Now that I’ve reminded you of that, here’s my story. So you should care about censorship, whether it’s of sex workers, of pole dancers or of more “safe for work” accounts. In short: a safer, more inclusive social media space for sex workers means a safer, more inclusive space for everyone. So if you think that censorship of sex work doesn’t touch you, think again: my experiences of pole dancing on TikTok will hit average users sooner or later, just like censorship of sex work is trickling down to pole dancers. As other, better writers have written before me, sex workers have been booted off the platform way earlier, showing that the online space for nudity, sexuality, bodies and sex work is shrinking. My experience of pole dancing on TikTok in 2021īefore I start, it’s important to remember that while my experiences of being censored on TikTok do affect my livelihood and visibility as a blogger and pole dance instructor promoting items and classes through the platform, I am certainly not the only censored user. After having had my account permanently banned three times last week, I have decided to share my experiences of moderation on TikTok, my (limited) communications with the platform and my musings on what their recent, amped up moderation may mean for pole dancers and other users. When I reached out to the platform about multiple bans on my account, someone from the support team told me that if I posted “implied nudity” the system would flag me and take my posts down. Pole dancing on TikTok is getting harder and harder. ![]()
