'On steroids'
Until recently, Instagram offered its own more basic means to see what friends were up to on its platform. But it removed the Following Tab in October after acknowledging some users had been "surprised" to learn their activities could be tracked via the facility. The app allowed members to both track their friends' activity and see who were their friends' top "likers" Mr Quintero had described Like Patrol as being a version of the tab "on steroids". The "insights" it offered included:- a way to expose "lustful behaviour" by tracking all the "likes" a followed person had given to "models"
- a means to identify "flirtatious behaviour" by providing a list of whom their friends had interacted the most with via comments and "likes"
- a way to keep track of each target's own popularity by identifying which other users had "liked" their posts most frequently over recent days
