In order to better manage and eliminate bullying and harassment on major platforms, Facebook has been working hard to find new filtering algorithms. For example, recently, Instagram under FB has released some new tools. First, Instagram provides a new way to further help users avoid verbal harassment in direct messages, and covers a collection of words (including common misspellings), phrases, emojis, etc. that may be abused.
Secondly, Instagram allows users to block others more actively, and the other party cannot easily bypass it by creating new accounts and other means. According to the plan, this feature will be launched globally in the next few weeks.
Initially, the anti-abuse function will be launched in the UK, France, Germany, Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and will be rolled out to more market areas in the next few months.

It should be pointed out that these functions are temporarily limited to the Instagram platform, and do not cover the main Facebook site, and the two popular messaging applications of WhatsApp and Messenger.
However, a company spokesperson confirmed that Facebook still hopes to introduce related improvements to other apps later this year.
It is reported that Instagram’s anti-harassment function is based on a large number of words, terms, and emoticons compiled by Facebook with the help of anti-discrimination and anti-bullying organizations.
Users who need it can actively open it in “Settings -> Privacy -> Hidden Words” (Settings> Privacy> Hidden Words), because others are not turned on by default.
In addition, in response to the abuse of a large number of third-party services, Instagram stated that it is building content review tools that can sniff harassment and hate speech. Although Facebook claims to review all reported content, this system will also be able to run fully automated.
