And yet my wife and I, as boudoir photographers, have 9 out of 10 ads rejected because our work show women in lingerie, which is "inappropriate."

Yeah, screw them.

I've also been banned one day for posting ads for my pictures. Just portraits, nothing special.

I got zero explanation and could not recover my ad credits.

More recently I was shadow banned for including links to YouTube on my fb post. Got a reach of 21, where it was usually above 1000. My page didn't recover yet.

It's time to let meta die.

they are more concerned with protectionism of platform monopoly than user safety, yet their trust & safety efforts get credit for managing the latter as the primary goal. apparently user safety was a "zero interest rate" era nicety and what we see now is a mask off moment.

same with apple's app store review process.

Ads are human reviewed. Either you’re exceptionally unlucky with reviewers or there’s more to the story here.

Guess I was unlucky then.

I haven't logged into Instagram in a while, but I recall there were plenty of accounts by women where were often wearing just lingerie. Seems like a hypocritical position for IG to take.

There are, and there are also nude art photographers which seem to be doing just fine. My guess is that our account is too small to bypass certain rules—which is bs, considering the content of this article.

I would guess that's different because people who follow a page want to see that content, and ads are shown to people who might not want to see that.
