Instagram has added a new feature that makes it ‘safer’, but here’s why some users are not liking it

NEW DELHI: Instagram has added a new feature that makes it ‘safer’, but here’s why some users are not liking it in order to fight the menace of fake news, Facebook-owned Instagram rolled out a new feature in which it will flag fake photos. However, now it seems that the system is going a bit too far and it is becoming difficult for the users to share and view certain types of photos.
Recently, a San Francisco-based photographer Toby Harriman was just scrolling down his Instagram feed when he came across the ‘False information’ warning on his screen. This was the first time when such a warning popped up on his screen. He then clicked on the hiding post and found out that it was a simple photo of a man who is standing on rainbow-coloured mountains.
In a post Harriman wrote, “Looks like Instagram x Facebook will start tagging false photos/digital art.”
