INSTAGRAM ARTIST SUMMIT

On October 22, 2019 roughly 20 artists, curators, and influencers attended a closed door meeting at the NY Instagram/Facebook headquarters to discuss how social media is censoring artists. Participants were required to sign a Non Disclosure Agreement, furthering Instagrams history of obfuscation and secrecy. Micol Hebron was one of the artists in attendance and has been very vocal about what occurred. After the meeting Hebron posted an image of herself topless in front of the FaceBook offices. Her Instagram account was quickly deleted just 3 hours after leaving the meeting! Luckily Hebron had just met with high up Instagram policy people and had a contact number. She texted her contact and was reinstated within 10 min. Most users do not have this type of access and once banned, simply give up.
