Instagram has removed the official account for PornHub as pressure from campaigners against the site grows. <\/p>\n

The news was first reported by Variety<\/em><\/a>, which notes that at the time of its removal, PornHub\u2019s Instagram account had some 13.1 million followers and 6,200 posts. The account posted safe-for-work content that promoted PornHub\u2019s various videos and performers. PornHub still operates popular accounts on other social media platforms like Twitter. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s not clear exactly why Instagram\u2019s parent company Meta removed the account, though screenshots shared by anti-PornHub campaigner Laila Mickelwait suggest the account was taken down for violating Instagram\u2019s community guidelines. The Verge <\/em>has reached out to Meta for confirmation and details, and will update this story if we hear back. <\/p>\n

Mickelwait is the founder of the \u201cTraffickingHub\u201d campaign: an advocacy group devoted to \u201cshutting down Pornhub and holding its executives accountable for enabling, distributing and profiting from rape, child abuse, sex trafficking and criminal image based sexual abuse.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mickelwait positions herself as an anti-sex-trafficking campaigner, but critics note her connections to evangelical Christian groups<\/a> that advocate the total abolition of all sex work and commercial pornography. According to Mickelwait\u2019s own website, she previously worked at Exodus Cry<\/a>, a Christian \u201cabolitionist\u201d group that wants to \u201cend the sex industry\u201d and lists Mickelwait\u2019s \u201cTraffickingHub\u201d under the \u201cour campaigns\u201d<\/a> section of its website. <\/p>\n
