LAST UPDATED: June 16, 2020, 1:30 p.m. EDT:  Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri said that Instagram is examining the policies and work process of the algorithm to better support the black people on the Instagram worldwide. Adam Mosseri Added that black people are often harassed. Instagram will review it’s content filtering policy again to check any flaw in the algorithm.

Instagram is alleged by black people for being biased and suppressing the voices of blacks with “shadowbans”. Adam didn’t get into the full details about how the process will work. But he gave a hint:

The irony that we’re a platform that stands for elevating Black voices, but at the same time Black people are often harassed, afraid of being ‘shadowbanned’, and disagree with many content takedowns, is not lost on me — Mosseri said about racism and instagram

1/ We stand in solidarity with the Black community. But that’s not enough. Words are not enough. That’s why we’re committed to looking at the ways our policies, tools, and processes impact Black people and other underrepresented groups on Instagram. https://t.co/rVM3E0rFHA

In a blog post published by Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram, yesterday gave 4 key points that he is planning to examine and implement to make Instagram a better and safe place for black people.

One of the ways we’ll do this is by taking a harder look at how our product impacts communities differently, specifically around — Adam Mosseri

  1. Harassment
  2. Account verification
  3. Distribution
  4. Algorithmic bias

Instagram will re-examine the product and policies to make it a good fit to reduce racism. The accounts verification process will also be taken into consideration to know about any biased deeds done on Instagram. Instagram will make several changes to make the verification process inclusive. Adam indicated toward Content distribution and filtering and how the content is put in front of peoples all around the world. He added Instagram will make sure that the algorithm doesn’t make any biased decision in the process of content distribution.

This work is going to take some time, but we’re going to provide updates over the next few months – both about what we learn and what we address — Instagram
