<article> <section class="page"> <p>When in doubt, blur it out. That’s how Instagram is handling any controversial photos that surface on its platform.</p><p>On Thursday, Instagram announced a new policy to blur out “sensitive” content (http://blog.instagram.com/post/158740450852/170323-kindness) that users have flagged as either offensive or disturbing. The blurred photos and videos do not explicitly violate Instagram’s content guidelines, so they don’t warrant a removal by Instagram standards. However, some users may still find them too sensitive to view. </p><p>“While these posts don’t violate our guidelines, someone in the community has reported them and our review team has confirmed they are sensitive,” the Instagram team wrote in a blog post announcing the policy. “This change means you are less likely to have surprising or unwanted experiences in the app.”</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3184439/social-media/instagram-adds-two-factor-authentication-censors-photos-that-are-deemed-offensive-or-disturbing.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Instagram adds two-factor authentication, censors photos that are deemed offensive or disturbing (http://www.macworld.com/article/3184439/social-media/instagram-adds-two-factor-authentication-censors-photos-that-are-deemed-offensive-or-disturbing.html#tk.rss_all) |
