Instagram and other social media platforms have been struggling to address the rising hate speech and bullying. Instagram underlined that it takes action whenever it finds such content. The new set of tools will protect users from having ugly experiences. Instagram has already taken measures to address such abuses. It gets feedback from users, experts, and the community and takes action accordingly. The company said that it is working on features to grant more control to users to fight abuse and safeguard their interests. The Limits feature is mainly aimed at hiding offensive content. When turned on, it will automatically hide such comments. This will filter unnecessary comments and engagements on a post.
