Week 1 - Instagram unveils tool to allow users to filter abusive comments

Taylor Swift with her ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris. Swift was among the first to test the feature.




Instagram allows users to like and comment on
other peoples pictures, however, they have
brought in this new feature which allows users to block and prevent people from commenting. The new tool lets users add custom keywords and phrases to a list of terms that they consider offensive. Those comments that contain such terms are automatically hidden.
Well known people such as celebrities were allowed to do this, before members of the public were given this opportunity. 
In my opinion, this is quite good as it allows users to block what they want and prevent people harassing them
