LOS ANGELES, Aug 11 ― Instagram is not taking a break when it comes to enhancing its platform. The social network is continuing to unveil new features on a nearly daily basis. This time, the company is tackling cyberbullying by unveiling a new “Limits” feature and strengthening its warning policy. Will it be enough?
A way to avoid the torrents of hate that some unlucky users, often public figures, can sometimes experience, for instance being bombarded by hundreds of negative and even racist comments as was the case during Euro 2020 for three of the English players. “Limits allows you to hear from your long-standing followers, while limiting contact from people who might only be coming to your account to target you.”
While these warnings may still seem quite mild for such offences, Instagram says its policy is effective nonetheless: “in the last week we showed warnings about a million times per day on average to people when they were making comments that were potentially offensive. Of these about 50 per cent of the times the comment was edited or deleted by the user based on these warnings,” they reported.
