[Redacted]: "Teens weaponize IG features to torment each other"

"# INSTAGRAM CONFLICTS Greetings! Here are the results from our interview study (N=24) of the what, who, how, and impacts of conflicts on Instagram." "**TL;DR** * *Conflicts* are distressing interactions between users about their perceived differences. * Most IG conflicts are between real-world connections. Current classifiers and policies do not address many of these conflicts. * Most IG conflicts use comments. * Teens weaponize IG features to torment each other, often without violating standards. * IG conflicts are common and painful; most participants regret engaging in conflicts." "**Opportunities include:** * Encourage kind interactions and help users accept their differences. * Help (ex-) friends, family, and romantic partners better manage their online conflicts. * Highlight current comment controls; develop new comment controls. * Discourage users from tormenting each other; help teens manage subtle attacks. * Give 'frontal lobe assists' to help users exercise self-control and avoid conflicts."
