Instagram’s been working on themselves lately hunty! First the app rolled out a feature that hides the number of likes/views a post receives in certain regions, and now it’ll be restricting whole posts!
Instagram will be blocking, and sometimes removing content that promotes weight-loss or cosmetic procedures to teens under the age of eighteen.
Certain posts that have discount codes and claims on weight-loss products that include prices will reportedly no longer be allowed and will be removed from the platform.

There are a lot of influencers and celebrities that make posts that fall under these descriptions. Instagram is including the IG users as well as they’d be able to report posts that they believe violate the policy.
“We want Instagram to be a positive place for everyone that uses it and this policy is part of our ongoing work to reduce the pressure that people can sometimes feel as a result of social media,” Instagram’s public policy manager Emma Collins said in a statement.
In addition, this new feature won’t only be on Instagram, but it’ll also be in place on Facebook.
Actress Jameela Jamil weighed in on the feature as well!
