Ep. 71: Enabling Safe Self-Expression on Instagram ...

We live our lives on social media. Thats been true for a while now.However, over the last couple of weeks or even over the last couple of months for some people, during this global lockdown, social media has taken a whole different role - it has substituted what we ourselves cannot do right now. It does seem like if we did not have Instagram and other social networks it would have been even more difficult, if not impossible, to get through what were all going through.So, on this episode, Varun talks to a couple of folks from Instagram - Tara Bedi, Public Policy and Community Outreach Manager, Instagram and Niharika Pande, Strategic Partner Manager, Instagram.They talk about a wide range of topics, from the different aspects of content in this COVID-time, to how Instagram works with creators, how theyre helping build more safety into their system, and where Tara and Niharika respectively started out to end up where they are today.You can follow Tara on Instagram tarabedi.You can follow Niharika on Facebook NiharikaPandeDo follow IG a/c for creators - creatorscreators - https://www.instagram.com/creators/To register for Born on Instagram, our program to discover the next gen digital content creators - https://boireg.splashthat.com/All of Instagrams efforts to keep people safe, informed and supported - https://about.instagram.com/blog/announcements/coronavirus-keeping-people-safe-informed-and-supported-on-instagram/Instagrams community guidelines - https://help.instagram.com/477434105621119Talk to Varun Duggirala on Twitter and Instagram varunduggi.Please send in your feedback at talktousindusvox.comYou can listen to this show and other awesome shows on the IVM Podcasts app on Android: https://ivm.today/android or iOS: https://ivm.today/ios, or any other podcast app.
