Instagram<\/a> has banned all content that promotes or supports conversion therapy for the LGBTQ+ community<\/a>. Following the increased risk of depression and suicide, the social network has decided to act and ban such accounts that promise to change people’s sexual orientation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“We do not allow attacks on people based on sexual orientation or gender identity,”<\/strong> says Tara Hopkins, Instagram’s director of public policy. “We are always reviewing our policies and will continue to consult with experts and people with personal experience to inform our position<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The application will no longer recommend content related to conversion therapy to users. In addition, users will also be prohibited from posting pro-practice testimonials<\/strong>, except within a legislative context. In fact, according to CNN, Instagram already banned conversion therapy advertising months ago<\/strong>, earlier this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
