Instagram to combat online bullying

Popular photo-editing platform Instagram is reportedly working on rolling out three new features that will help users gain greater control over their online experience on the platform.

In the coming weeks, users will be able to turn off comments on individual posts, remove followers from private accounts without blocking them and ‘like’ comments. Instagram’s latest move is the company’s effort to combat online bullying.

This isn’t the first time Instagram is making a move regarding this issue. In September itself, Instagram provided users with the ability to moderate their comments section by blocking words they find offensive or inappropriate. Users can also anonymously report accounts that show warning signs of self-harm.
