Instagram: 'Huge responsibility' to protect young people
Instagram wants to make sure its photo-sharing app is a safe space and not a toxic environment, says its public policy director.
Nicky Jackson Colaco tells The World At One the company takes issues of child protection and body image very seriously.
The company, which is based in California but has over 500 million users worldwide, has installed features like a report button and a filter for comments to address concerns that vulnerable young people - particularly girls - are being exposed to negative body images and bullying.
