Instagram will start blocking users for offensive posts in Direct. The administration of the social network told about this in its blog.
By the way, measures to combat abuse in the Direct are already in place - Instagram introduces a temporary ban on the conduct of personal correspondence for those users who offend others.
But now everything is more serious.
"Now, if someone continues to send messages with violations, we will disable his account, which was created solely to send abusive messages," - said the company.
The account will be deleted not only for insults but also messages inciting religious, racial hatred or violating other norms of public morality. The position of the social network is clear - Instagram should be a place where people calmly communicate with each other.
At the same time, the company does not plan to violate the privacy of correspondence and view your messages. Abusers will be blocked based on user complaints.
