Instagram and TikTok commit to adding a call button for 3018 to report harassment.
Meta is set to launch an 'anti-harassment' button on Instagram, an initiative announced by the Secretary of State for Children, Charlotte Caubel. This feature will allow users to easily report harassment and contact the e-Enfance association. Discover how this update could enhance online safety.
Instagram launches the "anti-harassment" button.
Meta has implemented a series of features to improve user mental health over the past few months. Among these features are the option to hide likes and disable comments on Instagram. Additionally, Instagram is introducing a new feature to combat online harassment.
In an effort to strengthen online safety, Meta has designed an innovative button. This tool not only allows users to report harmful content but also provides guidance toward psychological support for individuals of all ages. As Charlotte Caubel states, the goal is to simplify the process: a clearly visible and user-friendly button, easily accessible for children to click, which will immediately redirect them to 3018 for psychological support.
Immediate access to 3018.
Thus, the system is designed to effectively direct victims of cyberbullying to a professional from the e-Enfance association. Founded in 2005, this organization raises awareness each year among 200,000 children, teenagers, parents, and professionals about the issues of harassment and digital use.
The anti-harassment innovation, a dedicated button, will be gradually introduced in France in the coming weeks. Notably, France will be the first country to benefit from this advancement. The button will be integrated not only on Messenger but also on TikTok, which will provide a link to the e-Enfance organization's website. The 3018 service, free and confidential, is available seven days a week until 11 PM (Paris time). It allows users to report any harmful content and accounts encountered on the internet and/or social media.
