Some women shared
the messages they get
on Instagram.
It’s not pretty.
Description:
A study that looked at over 8,700 direct messages to five high-profile women on Instagram finds the platform failed to act on 90 percent of the abuse
Women on Instagram are exposed to an “epidemic of misogynist abuse,” according to a new report.
The Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), a nonprofit focused on online hate and misinformation, worked with five high-profile women, including actor Amber Heard, to analyze more than 8,717 direct messages the women received.
The report charges Instagram with failing to address reports of abuse and the fundamental struggles that high-profile women on the platform face when it comes to using Instagram’s safety tools.
In one shocking statistic, the CCDH found that Instagram didn’t act on 90 percent of abuse sent via direct message to the women in this study, despite the messages being reported to moderators.
