Instagram just announced a new plan to help cut down on bullying.

I love this!

Instagram is going to start asking you if you "really" want to post this before it posts.

They are going to recognize when you're writing something mean to let you know.

Instagram is also planning another feature to try to make their social network less toxic by letting you mute comments from different users without those users getting notifications they were muted.

So....will any of this actually work?  Who knows, but I think its time that all the negativity stops on social media.  It is so damaging for younger kids....and it's just plain mean anyway.

Maren Morris has kinda been dealing with this recently...

She reTweeted a post from a woman who called her Girl " video "disgusting" and "demeaning."  She also said Maren has no right to "act like you represent women who listen to country music."

Maren's response was restrained, but firm.  Quote, "Hate to break it to you, but [I'm] here for the long haul to make more 'disgusting' music videos about self-acceptance and mental care.  Gross."
