Plus Size Model Suspects Instagram of Hiding Her PHOTOS From Newsfeed

The young woman has accused the social network of bias, arguing that her pictures wouldn't be banned if she were slim.

Plus-size fashion model Georgina Horne has accused Instagram of hiding her publications from the newsfeed.

In her recent post, the 30-year-old woman claimed that the app administration is infringing on the rights of plus-size people, intentionally displaying pictures of slim girls at the top.

‪I’ve defo been shadow banned on instagram — I can tell because my posts never make ‘top posts’ on hashtags with few posts, and my likes have vastly depleted. If I were a slim woman posting similar content then this wouldn’t happen.‬ Fat bodies are being muted, and I’m not ok with that. I post content that I know for a FACT empowers and emboldens others, and yet because my body isn’t ‘perfect’, I’m given a disadvantage. The size 10 women showing how at some angles they have chins and a stomach roll get 468010k likes — because that’s acceptable. That’s temporary. My big fat body isn’t. And it’s punished. 🖕🏼🖕🏼 #mybodyisabikinibody #azureboporetreat
