 In an effort to combat misinformation and fake news, Instagram recently rolled out a new feature that flags fake photos. But now some photographers are wondering whether the system is going too far and making it harder to share and view certain types of photography. San Francisco-based photographer Toby Harriman was scrolling through his main Instagram feed a few days ago when he saw the “False Information” warning pop up for the first time. petapixel.com/2020/01/13/instagram-is-now-hiding-photoshopped-photos/

I think I'm going to be seeing fewer photos from certain people on my timeline.

How would meme images even function on Instagram?

I have mixed feelings. As a society we need to define a line at which photoshopping is okay, which I know is far fetched, but at least a rough idea. I don’t see anything harmful about the man on the rainbow mountains, since I don’t see anyone over the age of 7 believing that’s real. And what about memes and images clearly meant to be comical? Yet I can support the movement to stop photoshopping bodies. I know first how this can mess with one’s perception of normal. I’m just not sure this mixes with say, adding a filter because the lighting was bad. You might wanna crop out someone/something undesirable, I dunno. No more snapchat pics? I hope nobody thinks I’m really part doggie. Unfortunately this is something that will probably need to come down to individual accountability. People tend to pretty quickly comment about an image looking photoshopped anyway. Perhaps the more we discuss it the more credibility people will lose when they’re caught doing it unscrupulously.
