Amaya Toman Using third-party apps to get followers and likes on Instagram is quite common these days. But now this tactic becomes somewhat useless and ineffective. Instagram today he announced, that he is going to fight against fake followers and likes. Using artificial intelligence, the social network wants to identify accounts that are artificially increasing their popularity through special applications.
Starting today, inauthentic likes, followers, and comments will begin disappearing from Instagram. You can see below what the message the respective accounts will receive will look like. Instagram said in a blog post that people come to the network for real experiences and genuine interaction. "It is our responsibility to ensure that these experiences are not marred by inauthentic activity," the blog says. Instagram also states that it has developed tools working on the principle of machine learning - these will serve to better identify accounts using the aforementioned services.
The company also said that the said actions harm the community, and third-party apps generating fake followers and reactions violate the app's terms of use and community rules. Users who have violated these rules in this way will be notified in the application with a message requesting resolution and prompted to change their password. Also, one of the problems with third-party apps is that they reduce account security.
They have been fighting this for years, including youtube. For all updates and preventions, there will be additional options to bypass these algorithms.
