It is understandable that different social networks try to protect their users from inappropriate content and that they use different filters for this purpose. In the case of using these filters, however, unfortunately - even in good faith - it can lead to the imaginary spilling of the bath with the baby. This is an example of the recently introduced filter of inappropriate content on Instagram, which more and more users and creators themselves are beginning to complain about.

Users complain about Instagram's filtering of sensitive content

Instagram users around the world are beginning to complain about a feature in which the popular social network filters and blocks potentially sensitive content. In their InstaStories posts, some creators warn their users against activating sensitive content filtering, saying that a number of completely innocent posts may not be shown to them at all. Natural Pursuits magazine's Phillip Miner said he's spoken to a number of creators who are frustrated with the feature, as well as users who often only see a fraction of content from their favorite accounts. The function negatively affects accounts dedicated to, for example, tattoos, but also fine art, weapons or marijuana.

A new tool to filter out potentially sensitive content was officially launched last week on Tuesday, and is designed to protect users from inappropriate or sensitive content such as self-harm. However, Instagram says that creators don't need to worry about the reach of their posts being reduced with this new filter. What is considered sensitive content is specified by Instagram in its terms of use. In addition to the mentioned self-harm, this includes, for example, nudity or displaying addictive substances. However, blocking such photos may have a negative impact on accounts on which this content appears in connection with educational purposes, or for the purpose of presenting one's own artistic work.
