Public Figure Impersonation

Redesigning Instagram's Report Flow for Public Figure Impersonation

Instagram is tackling the growing issue of public figure impersonation by overhauling its reporting flow to better address user concerns. Currently, thousands of impersonation reports go unchecked due to inefficient internal and external reporting features. This leads to a negative experience for both fans and public figures who feel unsafe or misrepresented. By streamlining the report process and introducing more proactive review mechanisms, we aim to empower users with the tools to flag impersonators quickly and effectively, improving security, trust, and the overall user experience for everyone.
