Instagram Shadowban for pro-life content
I have been experiencing some issues on the social media and sales platforms that I use. Is it that I am a victim of "the algorithm", or is it more likely that pro-life content is deemed unacceptable for public consumption?
My latest bugbear is with instagram. I had the audacity to start up the account @prolifeai. On my fourth upload, my account status read that I had been limited due to sensitive content. This was the image in question.
And here is the text in question:
Pregnancy Vase
I like the idea of abstracting the female form and symbolising pregnancy. The vase can also be seen as the uterus, and the flower, the freshly conceived baby at the zygote stage.

Was this the result of an over-zealous pro-abortionist reporting my content, or is there something more at play? I wonder to myself why there is a dearth of pro-life art online? Are others having similar troubles?
My previous post on @prolifai garnered over 60 hashtag views. So what is really going on here? Instagram later removed the sensitive content warning, but my account remained "restricted". Had I received the dreaded "shadowban"? Only followers were able to see posts, as evidenced by a later post.
I also started another account, @almoslataanai, specifically for my AI work, which I will probably tag @prolifeai with( since that is a community account). However, I found that I had zero hashtag reach on this account. I found that I had to run a story advertising my new account on @almoslataan to get any reach whatsoever. So I am assuming this account is in "shadowban" too. Is this again to do with pro-life?
I would be interested to hear if others are experiencing issues with pro-life on social media. Are you in receipt of a "shadowban"? Is this a wider issue, or have I just been unfortunate? I started a Reddit discussion on the topic here. The basic gist seems to be that others are also the same with regards to their pro-life content.
It may just be that Instagram are reviewing my case, and will enable my accounts to be seen by the wider public soon. But for now, it is possible that they are in receipt of the "shadowban".
