Instagram Rolls Out 'Keyword Moderation Tool' That Will Filter Out Offensive Comments (macrumors.com)

In an effort to "promote a culture where everyone feels safe to be themselves without criticism or harassment," Instagram has introduced today a "keyword moderation tool" that anyone can use to block offensive or inappropriate words. Mac Rumors reports: Referred to as a "keyword moderation tool," the feature will let each user type in words they find to be offensive, effectively hiding any mention of them in the comment section of their posts. The comments containing the harsh language will still be available for other Instagram users, but the company believes that allowing each user to determine which words to hide from their personal collection of photos will cultivate a "positive and safe" environment. To deal with abusive accounts, Instagram already lets users swipe to delete comments, report inappropriate comments and block accounts.

not sure why im bothering with an AC, slow work day maybe, but the reason you get modded down for saying that is because unlike your assertion, it is in fact, not a fact. its not true, in the slightest. and only an idiot would think as such

According to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll, in fact the assertion that "most Trump supporters are racist" is actually true (at least if you consider "holding racist views" the same as being racist). And it's true by a wide margin. There have been other polls showing the same result, and if you want I can point them out to you.
