Instagram to take action against bullying

Instagram has introduced a new feature that will allow users to secretly block bullies from commenting on their posts.

The new feature, lets users block comments on their posts from specific users without the user knowing. The blocked user will still see their comment on a user’s post, but it will not be visible to anyone else.

Instagram said on Twitter, Starting today, we’re rolling out a new feature that notifies people when their captions may be considered offensive, and gives them a chance to pause and reconsider their words before posting.

This is especially crucial for teens since they are less likely to report online bullying even when they are the ones who experience it the most.” Instagram said.
