There is still more for Instagram to do to fight sexual exploitation issues that are rampant on its platform: the grooming/luring of trafficking victims, child sexual abuse materials, "sextortion", unwanted pornography exposure, and more. Users deserve to be safe while using Instagram – help us ask them to make fighting sexual exploitation a priority.
