To address the site’s rampant harassment and hate speech, Instagram is going to the mat. They’ve updated their policies to include additional bulwarks against racist tropes such as blackface and Jewish stereotypes, strengthening protections for what the company designates “involuntary public figures” against troll mobs and harassment campaigns. Plus any account now found making credible rape threats is getting straight up nixed. IG has already kicked 23 hate groups to the curb — half of which, surprise surprise, were run by white supremacists — and is now prioritizing the removal of similar accounts, including those of the Qanon cult.

Instagram is also working to make its verification process more transparent and fair. “An account must meet certain criteria before we verify it, including a degree of notability, Mosseri wrote. “We measure notability through press articles about the person applying for verification. We’ve now expanded our list of press sources we consider in the process to include more Black, LGBTQ+, and Latinx media.” Additionally, the company will no longer take an account’s follower count into consideration when determining verification eligibility.
