Instagram has made some really bizarre changes

It is no secret that there are certain fan pages and photos that promote extremely unhealthy eating and living practices on Instagram.

And of course, the people with these obsessions usually find each other through the use of the hashtag.

The site is also used by some people to share inappropriate photos. So, in an attempt to tackle these trends Instagram has decided to ban the hasthtag…. curvy.

Yep, that’s right. You can still search for #fat, #femalemotivation and #obese though.

A spokesperson from Instagram explained that #curvy has been banned because it was being used to share images and videos that violated Instagram’s guidelines around nudity.

But somehow explicit words directly related to sex are still allowed? Hmmmm……

For example, the words #dildo and #vibrator are somehow still easily searchable.

Although, the photo-sharing site has also banned #butt and #thighs.  And we certainly haven’t forgotten that the #nipple is still on major lockdown.

While it is understandable that Instagram needs to enforce certain guidelines to protect their younger audience from accidentally stumbling across any inappropriate images through the use of the hashtag, their bizarre choice of words leads to think that they need to seriously refine their screening process!
