Instagram adds another tool to its arsenal to combat bullying. This time, however, META is enlisted by school officials directly in an attempt to speed up his reaction to security issues affecting young teenagers. The company represents a new “Partnership program in schools”, which is aimed at giving teachers and school administrators a way to intervene when students experience mockery of Instagram.
The program offers schools that many parents have long been saying what they want: a way to quickly track reports in the application that directly affect young students. META promises that schools who join the program will have their own priority reports in their stage of moderation, and that this will respond to these reports within 48 hours. Schools that register will also lead to the “Partner Partner Partner” icon in their Instagram account, as well as information in the application on how to use their reporting tools and other resources.
It is noteworthy that, however, this is not like the fact that Meta hires additional content moderators to help these new quickly monitoring reports. When he was asked about an increase in the number of personnel to support the program, the Instagram representative told Engadget only that the reports from schools will be “accelerated” through their existing reporting channels, and that schools will be able to add an “additional context” to their reports.
The meter says that the program with 60 schools is already being checked, and that the early results were “promising”. Now secondary schools and secondary schools in the United States can To join the waiting list for the program.
The pilot program was far from the first time on Instagram tried to give in to intimidation. The application presented the functions of restrictions on comments And added more hard ““The function last year. But although these functions can help adolescents avoid certain types of negative interactions, they still required adolescents (or their parents) to configure their settings. At the moment, schools are more authorized to report specific cases of bullying or other bad behavior, Meta offers some hopes that it will be easier for schools to consider underflecting behavior.
