New Delhi/ Melbourne: Instagram, a leading mobile photo-sharing social network, might have a strict no-nudity policy but it has more than a million hardcore porn videos.

Jed Ismael, a tech blogger has found that millions of porn videos are hidden on the site under Arabic hashtags, according to the reports by News.com.au.

Jed first came across this when he was searching with a hashtag, meaning 'movies' in Arabic. According to him, he discovered more than one million sex films on the website.

Later, he shared the news, on his blog, “Instagram has banned certain English explicit hashtags from being showed in search. Yet users seem to find a way around the policy, by using non English terms or hashtags.”

It has also revealed that this content is easily available and can be viewed without any age verification.

Instagram are still investigating the whole issue and has not yet come up with an explanation. In its community guidelines, Instagram states: "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."
