The monaragala sex videoblack box of Instagram support just got a little more translucent.
Instagram announced two new features Tuesday designed to make its support and appeals process easier for users to navigate. If you report someone else's account or post, or if you're having a problem with your own account (say, your account was disabled), there are now dedicated portals within the app to manage the problem.
The changes are for "Safer Internet Day," but they're also part of Instagram's larger effort to streamline its support process after widespread complaints that actually getting the company to take action was a slow and opaque process.

If you're having trouble signing in, the Instagram "Need More Help?" button will let you prove you own the account through codes sent to your phone or email. This is an improvement on the old process, in which users of hacked accounts had to actually take a selfie of themselves and send it to support.
Instagram still has plenty of problems, including misinformation galore. Even if these tools can't prevent people from posting bad content in the first place, at least the good samaritans trying to clean up the place may have an easier time of it. 'Gram on.
