@stuartsandford.bsky.social is a great artist who's been attacked by Meta. Both his Facebook and Instagram accounts were suddenly deactivated. No warning, no opportunity to appeal. It's blatant #censorship and must cease! www.instagram.com/p/DXUMy87jHh... #BoycottMeta

On March 27, 2026, Instagram and Facebook permanently disabled Stuart Sandford’s account, an internationally recognized multidisciplinary artist, without explanation or recourse. 🚨💔Stuart had built an audience of over 20K followers over 10 years, reaching hundreds of thousands of people each month. He shared work across photography, sculpture, painting, and moving image, with exhibitions in galleries and museums around the world. His account was a key space to share his work and connect with audiences, including work exploring queer identity.⚠️Account erasure is extremely dangerous. It leads to the loss of cultural production, disrupts communities, and erodes collective history.🛑 This is not an isolated case. In the midst of this wave of queer accounts that RU is reporting on, the censorship of a multidisciplinary artist sets a concerning precedent for freedom of expression and culture.TAKE ACTIONCensorship is systemic, and you could be next:
👉 Share this post and tag @Meta and @Instagram to demand transparency and accountability
👉 Report censorship via @reprouncensored link in bio

Well this is bogus. My friend Stuart is an amazing sculptor. His works often depict nudity, but Meta's stated reason for nuking his accounts is that they committed "fraud or deception." That's a lie! All posts will be deleted, and he's not allowed to appeal. #DitchFacebook #DitchInstagram #FuckMeta
