Is Instagram Giving Taylor Swift Special Access? We Asked Them
You may have heard a rumor that Taylor Swift, amid the drama with the Kardashian West family, has been granted access by Instagram to mass-delete comments from trolls.
What drama, you ask? Well, if you've been living in a sealed clam shell for the past six months, here's what happened. Swift denounced the Kanye West song, "Famous," in which he called her a "bitch," but he claims that he asked her permission first. Swift denied she ever knew about being called a bitch. Kim Kardashian leaked the phonecall where he ran the lyrics by her (leaving out the "bitch" line). And now everyone's mad at each other, and Swift's getting a lot of mean Instagram comments.
We asked Instagram what the deal was with this new troll-deleting tool, and they said that they're trying to find new ways to keep people safe from bullying on their social media platform.
