Instagram to blur photos that users report even though they are not banned in their standards.

in #instagram8 years ago

that is why steemit matters :)

Instagram will soon incorporate two significant new features: first, it will begin to blur the photos that users report because they seem offensive, even if they do not violate its rules and terms of use. In addition, they will implement 2-step verification for all users.

Two-step verification has become a basic security feature for all social networks and online platforms, including Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp, etc. All users will be able to activate this security measure so that the app requires a unique code sent to the mobile via SMS every time you log in.

However, the most important innovation of Instagram has to do with censorship. The social network is very careful with the material that allows sharing and what not. Even so, there are publications that may be offensive to some users without having to violate the rules and terms of use of the social network.

To do this Instagram plans to blur those photos or videos and warn users with a notice that says "Sensitive Content", so you will have to touch the screen over the image to "unlock" that content and be able to see it. This will only happen with images that are reported or reported as offensive by the users, but that the social network does not think it necessary to end them.

According to Instagram, this will serve as an additional filter to the content that could appear in your photo and video feed, to prevent a photo that you consider offensive for any reason to appear without notice (such as photos with explicit content or anything for some reason Someone considers offensive).
