All this nonsense around making pornstars' lives more difficult lately makes me think that someone gave someone insecure about their sexuality way too much power.
This shit would never happen to a group less-marginalized. Politicians that consistently lie don't get this treatment. Corrupt police officers don't get this treatment. Lawyers that side with the near-monopolies drowing the world don't get this treatment. Hell, even the men and women that whore themselves out for attention on Instagram – just a sentence away – don't get this treatment.
No one with any power will ever get this treatment.
Instagram + thot. Thot (that hoe over there) is derogatory slang meaning "promiscuous woman". It refers to women that post suggestive photos of themselves on Instagram.

Women on instagram that are there to just show their bodies. You see a lot of them on boats, hotels, parties, working out. They often put their e-mail on the profile.

I'm pretty sure major companies are allowing stuff like this to happen because:
A) They perceive anything NSFW or NSFW adjacent to be harder to moderate (see: Tumblr)
B) Advertisers have started demanding their ad spaces be ruthlessly family friendly, at the expense of even educational content (see: YouTube).

Advertisers are a big part of it, but I think another driver is FOSTA/SESTA which has made companies terrified of even having a whiff of facilitating sex work. We've adopted what is basically War on Drugs logic for human trafficking, pretending that going after any association with it is automatically just as bad as the worst possible aspect of it.

The early days of the Internet were akin to the real-world Wild West: it wasn't exactly unregulated, but it far from the stable place we're in today. (By "stable" I mean "you mostly know what rules govern these lands".) It was getting more and more popular, but advertisers had little ground of their own to ask – let alone demand for some level of regulation.
As time went on, a few things happened:
the Internet got a lot more stable, with a few central hubs (Google, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube et al.) that host a whole load of people
studies in human psychology were massively aided by (A) an access to the aformentioned whole load of people, (B) developments in machine learning, (C) a desire to make use of the new technology that arose from A and B
advertisers got a clear sense that a lot of people spend a lot of time online, so this is where gold lies
This is, roughly, how ads got power over a user.
Since there's a staggering lack of sexual education in the modern world – especially in the more-online countries, especially in the US – there's a staggering amount of fear and animosity towards all things sexual from a lot of people, especially those with little familiarity with the Internet that get their ideas from similarly-scared people who open their mouths a little more often.
In other words: ads make more money the more people they reach, and some people are uncomfortable around The Sex™ (even the same people that masturbate quietly in their rooms watching girls 20 years their junior being repeatedly stricken with a whip while shackled just tightly enough that they can't move too far from said whip), so the less of The Sex™ there is on the Internet, theoretically, the more ads can be served.

I wonder if this has to do with advertisers. Most companies won't make moves like this unless it was somehow negatively affecting their bottom line.
Somehow I don’t expect this to get a bunch of “is cancel culture out of control?” hand-wringing from the media. . .
IG is doing this to poledancers as well, which is ridiculous.
Weird. A lot of instathots who put their e-mails on the profile does the same thing as porn actress, but without cameras.
I'm not familiar with this term?

Why do they put their email address on the profile? Is it to get invited somewhere?
To make online friends!
They are escorts

Wonder why advertisers are squeamish about this all of a sudden?

Lemme clarify something for myself: is Belle Delphine an e-girl?
Then my vague idea of what makes an e-girl is confirmed. Thank you.
