Today, we’re announcing new comment controls and anonymous reporting for live video to help keep Instagram a safe and positive place for self-expression. Since the beginning, we’ve tried to make Instagram a welcoming place for everyone. And as our community has grown to 800 million, with 500 million using it every day, it’s more important than ever to strengthen our commitment to safety and kindness.

We feel as strongly about creating a safe and welcoming environment today as we did when our community was just getting started. To learn more about these tools and others, please read a note from Kevin, our founder and CEO, here.
