Don’t Delete Art (DDA) is a project drawing attention to the damage done when art is censored in online environments.

Report art censorship online here

If art that you have posted online has been removed, downranked, or resulted in restrictions to your online activities, we invite you to submit* a CENSORSHIP REPORT.
