War on Pornography: Instagram to introduce tool to protect users from getting nude photos


New Delhi: Meta-owned Instagram is working on a feature to protect users from receiving nude and explicit content in their direct messages (DMs) from unknown people.

“Instagram is working on nudity protection for chats. Technology on your device covers photos that may contain nudity in chats. Instagram can’t access photos,” he posted.

Meta confirmed to The Verge that such a feature is in development to protect Instagram users’ privacy.

“We’re working closely with experts to ensure these new features preserve people’s privacy while giving them control over the messages they receive,” a company spokesperson was quoted as saying.

Meta said that the technology will not allow it to view the actual messages, nor share them with third parties.

The move comes at a time when a UK-based non-profit Center for Countering Digital Hate found that Instagram’s tools failed to act upon 90 percent of image-based abusive direct messages “sent to high-profile women”.

Last year, in a bid to give young users a safer, private experience on its platform, Instagram made it hard for potentially suspicious accounts to find young people by making the accounts of users under 16 private by default.

It also limited advertisers’ options to reach young people.

The company has developed a new technology that finds accounts that have shown potentially suspicious behavior and stop those accounts from interacting with young people’s accounts.
