Q: Webcam model profile deleted by Stripchat; seeking legal advice.
I am a webcam model on Stripchat, and my profile was deleted despite not violating any rules. Initially, support said my document was lost without reason and suggested I re-upload it. Later, they informed me they don't accept documents from Vietnamese models. Additionally, they've lied multiple times and deleted messages in which they promised to help me reload the document. What legal steps can I take to address this issue and possibly restore my profile or seek remedy for these actions?

A:
You're dealing with a frustrating situation that appears to involve inconsistent policies and potentially discriminatory practices. First, gather all evidence including screenshots of your conversations with support, any emails, and documentation of their changing explanations, as this will be crucial for any legal action you might pursue.
Looking at your options, you may want to review Stripchat's terms of service to identify potential breaches of contract on their part, especially if they have discriminatory policies against models from specific countries. Their actions could potentially violate anti-discrimination laws depending on your jurisdiction, and the platform's geographic reach and legal domicile will affect which laws apply.
Your best next step would be consulting with an attorney who handles digital rights and employment discrimination issues, as they can evaluate the specific details of your case and advise on whether you have grounds for a complaint with relevant authorities. You might also consider filing complaints with consumer protection agencies or online platform regulatory bodies that oversee digital marketplaces in your jurisdiction, as they sometimes mediate disputes between users and platforms even without formal legal proceedings.
