This article is about Instagram and its security which should be helping its users. Instagram is a photo sharing mobile app which is owned by Facebook and millions of people use it everyday. The article itself is about a recent tool that they had invented which allowed users to remove comments which they found were very inappropriate. This tool was more advertised and created for celebrities who also have Instagram accounts. When a celebrity would post a photo or video onto Instagram, they would gather a lot of hate from jealousy and maybe because that celebrity had an argument with another celebrity that they are more fond of. This tool was pre released to celebrities, e.g. Taylor Swift. In the article, it talks about how she had an argument with Kim Kardashian West and whenever Swift would post something on Instagram, her comments section would've been flooded with snakes emoji which some people would find this very upsetting if it's a reoccurring thing.
- Criticism was shown to Facebook as they hadn't taken any action on it sooner.
- They can block any sorts of keywords they want to
- It was released earlier for celebrities. This was controversial because a lot of hate was shown to other users too.
In my opinion, I believe that what Instagram have done is a great idea. This is because of the fact that people, especially celebrities would get constantly abused and didn't know how to remove the viscous comments show by other users. Now that this new tool has been invented, users on Instagram can become more free about what they would like to post on Instagram and would need to read the that may be shown by the users as they would then have that option to block them out. However, I also think that Instagram should've thought of this tool sooner because of the fact that people have always been abused on Instagram and didn't have any option to escape. For example, Justin Bieber had to delete his Instagram account because of the fact he would get constant hate due to his lifestyle and had no choice but to delete his account.
