[Site Integrity: Key issues to resource, Executive Summary]: "There are 4 key areas that we believe will benefit from more intense integrity work."
• "Comments: Prime area where bullying occurs for regular accounts, women and teens particularly impacted. In a recent study, 46% of those surveyed reported experiencing bullying/harassment on IG; 50% reported receiving unwanted or offensive comments. Teens delete twice the % of comments from unconnected commenters than connected commenters. Top Accounts also impacted."
• "Abuse and harm in Live: Every week: 55M+ Live broadcasts, with 65K videos reviewed based on user and automated reporting. Weekly, 1.5K videos are removed from Top Live and 300 are deleted from the platform. On average, we escalate 3 Live videos a week to our internal LERT team which then contacts local law enforcement authorities because users are in imminent danger from issues ranging from self harm to child exploitation. Post-Live launch will make this even more of a vulnerability."
• "Suggestive sexual content: 40% of nudity photo reports are on suggestive content (e.g. cleavage, bent over, etc.) and X% of WAP see these content. 'Edge' stories will exacerbate the problem if there is no down-ranking algorithm in place for suggestive content. In addition, 12% of WAP see violating nudity content as defined by us but 22% reported seeing violating content from user research. This underscores the fact that what IG defines as violating nudity is different than what a global, diverse community considers to be objectionable."
• "Hashtag abuse: Hashtags are used to congregate abuse because of their ease of discoverability. We have some detection systems for spam and nudity, but not for other abuses such as self-harm and bullying. Ex: recently, 'death group' hashtags in Russia encouraged teenagers to commit suicide. We don't have a systematic way to discover or monitor these hashtags except for manually restricting the hashtag to 'Top-Post Only'."
