According to a study conducted by TerraFemina in 2019, 70% women have already received unsolicited dick pics.
To combat this phenomenon, Instagram has embarked on the creation of a new algorithm capable of detecting suspicious photos and blurring them to protect the recipient from unwanted sexual content.
The social network specifies that this action is possible without it viewing the messages in question itself or sharing them with third parties. «These new features protect people's privacy while giving them control over the messages they receive.»
When unwanted and not consented to by the recipient, sending dick pics can be considered cyberbullying.
