Firstly, a huge thank you to everyone who has signed this petition, shared it with friends, family and social media networks, and generally raised awareness of our cause. The psoriasis community has really rallied together on this, and that has been great to see! In an article in yesterday's Evening Standard, Instagram’s Head of Public Policy, EMEA, Michelle Napchan, said: “People use Instagram to connect around the things that matter to them, including sharing their experiences of psoriasis to raise awareness of the condition and get support from the Instagram community. In this instance, some psoriasis-related hashtags had been temporarily restricted while we removed spam content which violated our guidelines. The issue has now been resolved and these hashtags can again be freely used by the community in the spirit in which they were intended." We take from this that the intention of Instagram was not to censor people with psoriasis, and that images of psoriasis and other skin conditions are welcome. However, we continue to be concerned that spam cannot be dealt with without dismantling the entire hashtag communities. The good news is that many of the hashtags that were previously blocked appear to be reinstated. Unfortunately, #psoriasislife #psoriasissupport #psoriasisisnotcontagious #psoriasisproblems #pustularpsoriasis #guttatepsoriasis #scalppsoriasis and #skincondition still remain blocked and unusable. We will continue to raise awareness of this issue until all the relevant hashtags have been reinstated.
