All social media platforms have one thing in common and that’s connecting people all over the world through content, and although they all have similar features and seem alike, they have pretty major differences in their terms and regulations.
Knowing what makes content on a social media platform safe and appropriate can be tricky and with so many of them out there – promoting and posting your content can be a nightmare. That’s why it’s important to be careful with what you’re publishing and not make the typical mistakes that usually get creators banned and hurt both them and their fanbase.
So let this Social Media Safety Guide enlighten you.
Instagram | Social Media Safety Guide
This is definitely and by far the strictest platform when it comes to regulating sexually explicit content, so here are the main things to remember that Instagram doesn’t allow:
- Content cannot be sexually explicit or suggestive, this includes photos of people in see-through clothing (content that includes nudity or adult sexual activity is outright removed).
- It cannot show genitalia (including nipples).
- No close-up shots of fully naked buttocks.
- Nothing can be more than 50% skin tone (so be mindful of clothes that are very close to your skin colour).
- No sexual imagery.
- No censored nudity (by emojis or otherwise).
- Content that promotes the use of certain regulated products, such as tobacco or vaping.
- Links to adult-related websites. So to include your EscortFans link into your Instagram link, create a Linktr.ee account, add your EscortFans link there, and finally, the link you should include in your Instagram profile is the Linktree one.
Instagram has some pretty rigid rules around activity that you might not know about, and they could potentially get your account banned, so make sure you read the T&Cs carefully on this one 😉
Activity Rules
In an ideal world, you could log into Instagram and have an account full of followers and sharing exactly the kind of content you like with the people that you like. But in reality, the Instagram algorithm is extremely sensitive to “unusual activity” and the things you’re doing to grow your following could be exactly what is causing your account to be banned.
So, there are a few more conditions you need to keep in mind. For example, did you know that there is a maximum number of likes, comments, followers and messages allowed per hour? Oh, and there is a limited number of accounts you can follow:
- For already established accounts: 60
- For newer accounts: 30
Text & Captions
Whenever you post your content, Instagram will also monitor your captions so:
- Nothing that could be interpreted as an offer for services (erotic massage, sexual requests).
- No sexual remarks or offers for services or sexual solicitation of services – even if the photo itself isn’t sexual.
- “Want to join me?” or anything similar.
- Nothing that implies sexual activity outside of the platform.
#Hashtags
The golden rule of using hastags on Instagram, is to not use them at all. Ever. That’s right, it’s much easier to keep your account safe if you don’t use them. That’s because you’re not risking linking your account to anything that could be considered unsafe.
Themes to avoid
- DON’T MENTION SUBSCRIPTIONS – don’t ask people to swipe up to anything that also links to a fansite or adult website.
- No sex toys or anything related to sexual fetishes (ball gags, handcuffs, restraints, etc).
- No reviews of sex toys.
Twitter | Social Media Safety Guide
As far as Twitter goes, you do have a lot more freedom with the kind of content you can post – but that doesn’t mean that you can post whatever you want without hesitation.
If your content is geared more towards the +18 audience, you must follow these rules:
- Make sure your account is listed as NSFW or +18.
- Avoid any kind of hate messages directed at the public.
- When posting NSFW videos, make sure there is no streaking in the video. Ex: Semen, squirt etc.
Final Tips
Keeping your other social media accounts safe hinges on not linking them to anything that directly promotes any type of explicit adult content. So be careful what links you choose to share.
- If you want to include a link to your EscortFans profile on Instagram, we recommend that you use other landing pages such as Linktree or similar.
- There should be no nudity or any kind of transparent underwear etc. (Instagram)
- Don’t masturbate through your panties. (Instagram)
- Don’t use hasthtags.
- Make sure your account is listed as NSFW or +18. (Twitter)
So, stay safe out there and remember, if you’re ever unsure you can always come back here. And if you’re not registered on EscortFans yet, what are you waiting for?
