Pornographic photos and videos are not allowed on photo-sharing app Instagram, but users have found a way to subvert the ban.
Tech blogger Jed Ismael first stumbled across this when searching with a hashtag that means "movies" in Arabic and says he has discovered more than one million sex films on the website.
Instagram's community guidelines say: "We know that there are times when people might want to share nude images that are artistic or creative in nature, but for a variety of reasons, we don't allow nudity on Instagram. This includes photos, videos, and some digitally-created content that show sexual intercourse, genitals, and close-ups of fully-nude buttocks. It also includes some photos of female nipples, but photos of post-mastectomy scarring and women actively breastfeeding are allowed. Nudity in photos of paintings and sculptures is OK, too."
