Thekabarnews.com—Meta has given its clearest explanation yet of how it enforces its platform policies. This comes in response to mounting concerns about the suspension of adult content creators’ accounts.

“Instagram still has longstanding rules that ban nudity and solicitation,” Mosseri told The Mirror US at the Breakthrough Prize Awards 2026. Many of the affected accounts may have violated those policies, even if inadvertently, he added.

“We don’t allow nudity, and we don’t allow solicitation, so unfortunately some creators may be tripping on those rules,” Mosseri said.

His comments make clear that Instagram is not creating new policies, but rather enforcing existing content rules more vigorously. However, the statement has done little to ease the fears of creators. Many have seen their accounts suspended without warning recently.

Many users say enforcement looks inconsistent. Some creators said the platform had deleted their accounts without telling them why or which posts had violated its policies. Others say they struggle to access effective appeals, even when their content is marked safe for work (SFW).

In his comments, Mosseri did not address these concerns, leaving questions about transparency and consistency open.

The issue has sparked wider conversations about platform governance and the risks of relying too heavily on social media for income. As a result, creators who earn money and engage their audience on Instagram are reconsidering their strategy.

Creators should diversify their online presence and not rely on a single platform. Creating your own channels (like mailing lists, your website, etc.) will give you more control and stability.

Creators should consider social media accounts as temporary assets, not permanent ones. You don’t own the platform, so you’ve got to build assets that you absolutely own.

The row is a sign of the rising tensions between the regulation of platforms and the sustainability of the creator economy. As social media companies tighten their content policies, creators are increasingly concerned about the safety of their accounts. They also worry about their long-term viability.

Content moderation is important to maintain platform standards, but transparency and consistency are critical to maintain user trust.

As Instagram ramps up its policy enforcement, the platform’s communications and appeals process may play a major role in its future relationship with creators. This will be especially important in how effectively it addresses creators’ concerns and allows them to contest decisions made about their content.

However, the current takeaway for creators is that platform policies can change in reality. Relying solely on one digital platform is a significant risk in an ever-evolving online landscape.
