Instagram Sensitive Content Control: What’s that about?


Instagram sensitive content control

Facebook-owned Instagram has launched the Instagram Sensitive Content Control. This will allow users to decide how much sensitive Content shows up in “Explore”. The new control will go a long way in keeping communication between Instagram community members safe & secure.

Facebook said on its official blog: We believe people should be able to shape Instagram into the experience that they want. We’ve started to move in this direction with tools like the ability to turn off comments or Restrict someone from interacting with you on Instagram.

The Instagram Sensitive Content Control gives users control over their sensitive Content. They can decide to leave things as they are or just adjust the Sensitive Content Control to see more or less of some types of sensitive Content. Facebook said this control will give people more choice over what they see.

Our Community Guidelines outline what kind of content can be on Instagram, and the point of these guidelines is to keep people safe. We don’t allow hate speech, bullying or other content that might present a risk of harm to people. We also have rules about what kind of content we show you in places like Explore; we call these our Recommendation Guidelines
