Instagram aims to protect user privacy and combat sex blackmail fraud with its new security measures. The social media platform has pushed the button for major changes to prevent such frauds, which pose a particular threat to young users.
The most notable update was the inclusion of a feature that prevents screenshots of the content shared in stories.
In this way, it will be difficult to find the lost stories by malicious people. Therefore, user privacy will also increase.
WARNING WILL BE FOR LEGAL LOCATION
Instagram is also working on a feature that will prevent suspicious accounts from accessing their fan lists and tag photos, reducing the likelihood that scammers will reach people they could target.
Another important precaution taken by Instagram, which has taken many security measures, is geolocation alerts. These alerts let users know if the people they are chatting with are from another country, thus reducing the risk of falling into the traps set by scammers.
NEW STEPS FOR UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE
Instagram will also take special security measures for users under the age of 18. This new type of account, called “Teen Accounts“, will have stricter restrictions and additional security measures against sexual content.
