Instagram is leading the industry in the fight against online bullying, and is rethinking the whole experience of Instagram to meet that commitment.
Instagram announced a new feature to prevent bullying from happening on Instagram, and to empower the targets of bullying to stand up for themselves. These tools are grounded in a deep understanding of how people bully each other and how they respond to bullying on Instagram.
The company is rolling out a new feature that uses AI to identify negative comments before they are published and asks “are you sure you want to post this?” before it is shared on another person’s post.
It does not stop people from making negative comments, but it gives them the opportunity to “undo” the message before it is posted.
This feature will allow people to control their Instagram experience, without notifying someone who may be targeting them. Soon, Instagram will begin testing a new way to protect your account from unwanted interactions called Restrict.
