Social media platforms are stifling artistic expression, negatively impacting artists who depend on them to exhibit and market their work. As part of DDA’s ongoing Manifesto Campaign, we invite you to join us in calling on social media companies to enact greater protections for artistic freedom online.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE

(Note: You must include the @) - Use the DDA Giphy to self censor your work in Stories and Reels or take a screen shot and then add it to Posts, and more.

- Consider adding accompanying text about the campaign. Sample text:
On social media platforms like this one, artistic content regularly gets read out of context by content moderation AI, which results in posts and accounts being wrongfully suppressed or prohibited altogether. Don't Delete Art's Manifesto is uniting voices across the arts to demand greater inclusion of artistic perspectives in social media content moderation policies.
