Instagram – uneven, unrepentant, toxic shitshow that it is – is still regarded as a necessary (and even fruitful) business tool by many individuals and entities in the adult industry community. As such, the platform has two new, recently announced features that are certainly worth knowing about. Funnily, without even a trace of irony or shame, the features are said to be designed to combat online bullying.

Head of Instagram Adam Mosseri wrote about the new features in a blog post.

The first feature will allegedly use artificial intelligence to flag comments that may be considered offensive. In those cases, users are asked, “Are you sure you want to post this?” and then given the option button to “undo” their comment before it posts.

Kind of like telling a meany to count to ten before they act, Mosseri wrote, “This intervention gives people a chance to reflect and undo their comment and prevents the recipient from receiving the harmful comment notification.”
