What are Sensitive Content Controls?
Sensitive Content Controls allow users to block content that does not contradict Instagram’s guidelines but may be distressing to some people or groups of people. For instance, it includes sexual or violent imagery. Instagram’s expansion of content controls comes as social media and online content platforms are giving users more choice in the types of material they see. YouTube has a “restricted mode” that allows users to filter out more mature content, as does Reddit, Twitter, and TikTok. Simultaneously, the search engine giant Google recently introduced My Ad Center, a portal in which users can filter out certain types of ads they’d rather not see. It includes ads regarding pregnancy, alcohol use, or weight loss (topics that could evoke negative emotions).
