(WHDH) — Instagram is trying to crack down on cyber bullying through two new features.
One feature launched by the social media site can supposedly detect offensive or “borderline” content as a user is typing. It then sends out a comment warning, prompting the user to reconsider what they wrote before they post.
Instagram says it will also soon begin testing a restrict option, which allows users to hide comments without notifying the commenter that they have been muted.
Adam Mosseri has made combating online bullying a top priority since he took over the reigns for Instagram in October.
