Instagram trying nudity blurring to stop ‘sextortion’

Instagram is taking steps to curb ‘sextortion’ on its platform by introducing a new feature that blurs nudity in photos and videos. This move comes after reports of users being threatened and extorted for sharing intimate images.

The social media giant has been facing increasing scrutiny over its handling of explicit content and cyberbullying. In response, Instagram has announced that it will use advanced technology to automatically detect and blur out nudity in posts, making it harder for perpetrators to use such images for malicious purposes.

While the move has been welcomed by many as a step in the right direction, some critics argue that more needs to be done to protect users from online harassment and abuse. Instagram has stated that it is committed to creating a safe and supportive community for its users, and will continue to work on improving its policies and tools to combat harmful behavior.
