Online harassment is a big problem, with 40 percent
of all people on the internet having reported experiencing some form of harassment online, according to Pew Research Center. In order to
combat harassment on Instagram, the photo-sharing
platform is gearing up to let people with “high volume
content threads” filter their comment streams, or just
turn them off entirely, The Washington Post reports .
For those who decide to leave on the comments, they
can create a banned words list that will enable them
to hide the comments that use those terms. Soon,
Instagram will enable everyday people on Instagram
— the ones with not as much action on their accounts — to moderate their comments.
This comes less than a month after Instagram released a comment moderation option for business pages, which similarly lets accounts block comments
with certain offensive words and phrases. Here’s
what the functionality looks like for business
accounts:
- Blogger Comment
- Facebook Comment
