Instagram Wants Safety For Users
Facebook-owned Instagram is adding three new layers of security on its platform.
The photo & video-sharing website will now allow users to get more detailed information for checking an account's legitimacy. The information includes location of an account, when the account was started, any username changes in the past year and ads run by the account. This is intended to help users get better clarity on the identity of people they are following.
Instagram is also providing users the option to use third-party authenticator apps, such as Google Authenticator, as a way to log in securely.
Also, public figures can provide Instagram their user name, full name, and a copy of a legal or business ID to have their accounts tagged as verified.
The new security features seem to aim at restoring confidence and trust among users, particularly amidst recent security issues that surfaced on other social media platforms. Last week, Facebook said that it removed 652 pages, accounts and groups — including some on Instagram — since it identified those as part of coordinated disinformation campaigns that originated in Iran. Similar measures were taken by Twitter and Google on their platforms.
