The social network Instagram spoke about the steps it will take to contain Russian propaganda and protect users from Ukraine against the backdrop of the war unleashed in our country by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The social network will start tagging content created by Russian state media, according to Techcrunch.. For example, users who choose to share content created by these sources will see a message warning them against disseminating information from Russian state media..

“Instagram believes that the account that created this post may be partly or wholly under the editorial control of the Russian government,” the post reads.. The message will be posted when you try to share both the post and the story.

In addition, Instagram will lower the priority of content created by such accounts, it will be displayed at the very bottom of the search results..

It will also no longer be placed in the list of suggested posts that are generated by Instagram's algorithms..

The social network also launched additional privacy settings for some users from Ukraine and Russia.. Now the lists of subscriptions and subscribers of all closed accounts located in these countries will be closed.

Earlier, Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, said it would encrypt all private messages of adult users from Russia and Ukraine, as well as make it easier for them to mass delete content and activity..
