The Issue

As a content creator, it's disheartening to witness the automated systems of platforms like Meta, X, and TikTok unfairly taking down posts and imposing account restrictions, particularly for adult content creators. Many of us dedicate a significant amount of time, energy, and financial resources to create content that is specifically designed for audiences on these platforms. Yet, we find our work being removed without any transparent reasoning or fair process to contest these decisions.

Social media is not just a place for creativity; for countless individuals, it is their primary business tool, crucial for building an audience and driving traffic to their services. When automated A.I. systems act unfairly and without proper oversight, it adversely affects our livelihoods, growth, and potential to reach audiences. It is unethical and unjust for creators who rely heavily on these platforms for their professional survival to be penalized without a clear explanation.

The reliance on automated systems without adequate transparency, accountability, and a channel for appeal spells disaster for creativity and innovation which these platforms claim to celebrate. We recognize that tech companies face challenges in monitoring vast amounts of data, but improper restrictions hinder creators unfairly and breach the mutual trust social media should foster.

We urge companies such as Meta, X, and TikTok to refine their automated content moderation systems to ensure they are accurate, transparent, and fair. Introducing clearer guidelines for content removal, providing detailed reasons for post takedowns, and implementing an effective appeal system are essential steps towards achieving this goal.

By signing this petition, you support fair practices that protect creators’ rights and encourage a vibrant and open social media ecosystem. Let's ensure that these platforms support and not stifle the very individuals that give them meaning.
