More about Instagram

The makers of Instagram have recently updated their app and added a completely new feature to filter abusive messages on their platform. The official blog post of this feature says, “We understand the impact that abusive content - whether it's racist, sexist, homophobic, or any other kind of abuse - can have on people. Nobody should have to experience that on Instagram. But combatting abuse is a complex challenge and there isn’t one single step we can take to eliminate it completely. For example, we know that many in our community, particularly people with larger followings, have faced abuse in their DM request inbox from people they don’t follow.” Seeing such an attempt to keep their users away from negative messages is certainly a great step taken by the makers.
