Through his social media, the BBC reporter shared:
Thanks a million! I can’t wait for Instagram to hide likes, starting in the US this week. I have a million followers & thousands of likes but using either for validation is unhealthy & dangerous.
Further explaining:
It creates an impossible standard for most people. I hope they’re removed permanently for everyone around the world.
Sure to it, Kenyans were actually in approval of the move airing:
Second that !
BOOOOOM ????????
Well done mate and I totally agree with you. We need to go beyond the likes…
@larrymadowo here in Japan its already effective ???????????? # STAYWOKE ???????? @cheche_3
The project that started in July, has already kicked off in Australia, Brazil, Canada Ireland, Italy, Japan and New Zealand.
One can however still view the ´like´ count on their own photos and videos, but not that of others. Instagram´s Adam Mosseri explained that the intention was to take care of people´s well-being and health.
