Now Instagram will ask you once before the controversial post

Instagrams CEO Adam Musrae said that preliminary tests have shown that some people are posting controversial content and that if they are warned, they refrain. Hateful posts can be cut like this.

For example, if someone writes 'You look ugly and stupid' on a photo, Instagram will immediately come in and ask if you still want to post the phrase. Also, a link to learn more will appear.

According to Musri, the purpose of this intervention from Instagram is to stop writing negative sentences and to keep the receiver safe from hateful comments. This will help keep social media free of clutter.

Online defamation and hate are a 'growing complex' problem, he said. For many years Instagram has been removing derogatory and bad words and sentences through artificial intelligence (AI) but the numbers are too high.

Some children and adolescent girls said they were not interested in blocking, following or reporting anyone because they did not want to take the matter any more complicated.
