Instagram to reduce reach of objectionable content that doesn't violate community guidelines

Instagram with these borderline content policies could really end up alienating some of its popular creators. As part of these group of announcements to keep the integrity of the Facebook News Feed under check, Instagram has also taken a call to reduce the reach of content that is objectionable but still does not violate its Community Guidelines. According to a report in TechCrunch, Instagram will be using the human intelligence of its content moderators to identify borderline content, which is just short of violating the community guidelines. There is no dedicated rule book as to what qualifies as ’non-recommendable’ or ‘borderline’ content, which may not violate the Instagram community guidelines, but which may end up penalising the creator by limiting the reach of their post. Instagram, which is a community-led platform, with these borderline content policies could really end up alienating some of its popular creators.
