Instagram Introduces New Feature to Filter Abusive DMs
Image sourced from Time Instagram has introduced a new tool that will allow users to turn on an abusive message filter for direct messages (DMs). It will work in a similar way to the comment filters Instagram already offers – which allow users to hide offensive comments and choose what terms they don’t want people to use in comments under their posts. “We’re announcing a new way to protect people from seeing abusive DMs in the first place, as well as the ability to prevent someone you’ve blocked from contacting you from a new account,” reads a blog post from Instagram. “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 the social platform goes on ...

Image sourced from Time Instagram is introducing a new feature that restricts DMs between teen users (under the age of 18) and adults they don’t follow. This means that if an adult tries to message a teen who doesn’t follow them, they receive a notification that DM’ing them isn’t an option. “This feature relies on our work to predict peoples’ ages using machine learning technology, and the age people give us when they sign up,” says Instagram in a blog post. “As we move to end-to-end encryption, we’re investing in features that protect privacy and keep people safe without accessing the content of DMs.” /* custom css */ .tdi_3_d05.td-a-rec-img{ text-align: left; }.tdi_3_d05.td-a-rec-img img{ margin: 0 auto 0 0; } Making it more difficult for adults to find and follow teens The social media ...
