The company said appeals will be available for posts that are removed under violation of nudity and pornography, bullying and harassment, hate speech, drug sales, and counter-terrorism policies. But it’ll expand the category list in coming months. Instagram’s been involved in plenty of controversies when it banned content from Rihanna and other celebrities as a violation of its nudity policy. Now, users will at least have a chance to appeal before the post is taken down. The company also introduced a new policy to remove accounts with objectionable content within a quicker time frame: Instagram says these steps will help make the platform safe and supportive, but we have to wait and see if these features can decrease the number of controversial takedowns.
