Sohan Bashar, the owner of Silk Road NYC, expressed his frustration, saying, "...as an independent business in a rapidly evolving industry, these forms of censorship and biased platform practices hinder our ability to grow..."
Silk Road NYC's challenges highlight the disproportionate power that platforms like Instagram exert over businesses, affecting visibility and growth while compliant brands are targeted disproportionately.
The recent shutdown of Silk Road NYC's Instagram page forced the brand to rebuild from scratch, demonstrating the ongoing hurdles faced in maintaining an online presence.
Bashar lamented the situation, saying, "It's been 12 years since the original Silk Road went through these issues... here we are, still dealing with the same struggles."
