Instagram ‘failing to protect women in the public eye from misogynist abuse’

A study was carried out by the Centre for Countering Digital Hate (PA)

Instagram is not doing enough to protect women in the public eye from misogynistic abuse online, a new report has claimed.

A study by the Centre for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), which included input from several women in the public eye such as actor Amber Heard and broadcaster Rachel Riley, suggests that Instagram was failing to remove accounts that sent abuse to women, in violation of the site’s rules.
