Instagram Removes Fake Likes, Comments

San Francisco: Facebook-owned photo-sharing platform Instagram has announced the latest step to purge inauthentic likes, follows and comments from accounts that used third-party apps to boost their popularity. The company said that it has built Machine Learning (ML) tool to help spot accounts that used automated apps to generate likes and follows from fake users to produce a fake impression that they were enjoying more attention than they actually did. “This type of behaviour is bad for the community... and violates our Community Guidelines and Terms of Use,” it said, reports Xinhua news agency.
