Another day,movie sex video another online platform turning on sex workers.
Linktree, a popular social media link service, is removing sex workers and other adult content creators from its site, according to a new report from Motherboard. According to Linktree, the company is only blocking users who post links to IRL sexual encounters and other services.
“Per our company's policies, the Linktree accounts banned stemmed from sharing a URL which violated Community Standards by sharing advertisements for the sale of real-life sexual services,” said a Linktree spokesperson in response to Motherboard.
If you're a heavy user of social media platforms like Instagram, you're likely quite familiar with Linktree. The service is one of the most popular "link in bio" or "bio link" services around. Linktree and similar services provide users with the tools to create a simple landing page that lists all of their social media accounts as well as other links.
By curating all these destinations onto one page, services like Linktree often became the default choice for many social media users who are only allowed one URL in their social media bios.
"Link in bio" services became especially popular on Instagram, specifically, due to the limitation on adding links to a users' posts. Influencers will often tell their followers to check out products or services they're promoting by checking out their "link in bio," which often is a users' Linktree link.
These bio link services are also popular with sex workers. Instagram does not allow links to sexually explicit material. Services like Linktree provide a workaround.
According to affected parties who spoke to Motherboard, users received no warning from Linktree before logging into their accounts and finding they were banned. Sex workers paying for Linktree's premium service found that they were, in fact, still being charged regardless of the ban.

However, these terms aren't clear on whether linking out to such "material" hosted on a third-party platform is prohibited as well. (Judging by these latest events, this isprohibited as well.)
FOSTA/SESTAlaws have made it much more difficult for sex workers to make a living. In addition, it's become routine for new and upstart online services to turn a blind eye to sex workers when they need these users' help in growing their platforms… only for these same services to give sex workers the bootwhen they're big enough that they don't need them anymore, as we saw with OnlyFansin 2021.
UPDATE: Jan. 18, 2022, 3 p.m. ESTIn a statement provided to Mashable, Linktree Head of Trust and Safety Marlene Bonnelly says:
"Per our company’s policies, Linktree banned a small number of accounts which stemmed from sharing a URL that violated Community Standards by sharing advertisements for the sale of real-life sexual services. Our Trust & Safety team identifies, flags, and bans accounts that go against our Community Standards. It's important to note that once these infringements are found to also violate the law, action must be taken swiftly to protect our community."
In addition, Linktree will be reaching out to affected paying customers to offer refunds.
The company also plans to continue to allow sex workers on the platform provided they follow legal and Community Standard guidelines. For example, sex workers can continue to provide links to legal virtual services they offer. Links to real life sexual services are not allowed, as there are legal ramifications involved with facilitating illegal content.
