FILE PHOTO | AFPInstagram has announced that it will automatically hide negative comments in posts, a measure the Facebook-owned media platform is taking to reduce bullying and harassment. Users must now click the ‘View Hidden Comments’ button to unveil a negative comment that has been covered. This will serve as a notification that Instagram will probably hide the comment, investigate and perhaps delete their account. The platform automatically deletes posts and comments that are obscene, praise organized crime, or threaten bodily harm. Around 3.5 million users have used the new feature to hide, delete or report accounts and comments in the last year.
