A form of targeted abuse specific to your role.

When you share medical information, challenge misinformation, or comment on public health, you become a target for communities that are organised, well-resourced, and experienced at coordinating online harassment.

Anti-vaccine communities, wellness misinformation networks, and groups that distrust mainstream medicine have turned the abuse of visible medical professionals into a tactic. The goal isn't debate — it's to silence, discredit, and exhaust. Comments that question your credentials, impugn your motives, or threaten your registration are a feature, not an exception.

For medical professionals from marginalised backgrounds — women, professionals of colour, Muslim or Jewish doctors — identity-based targeting is layered onto the professional harassment. Your Instagram presence serves a public health function; misinformation spreads faster when credible voices are hounded off platforms.

The platforms aren't catching it.

Reporting targeted harassment to Instagram rarely results in removal — 70% of reported hate speech stays up. (Appeals Centre Europe, 2026) And harassment of medical professionals is often framed as debate, scepticism, or questions — language specifically designed to avoid automated moderation while the targeting is clear.

Fendr is proactive. It removes abusive and harassing comments before they go live — before your audience sees them, before they can undermine the trust you've built.

Removing it changes more than you think.

A hate comment left visible on your post doesn't just affect you. It signals to everyone who visits your profile that this space is unmoderated — and that more hate is welcome. Research into online behaviour consistently shows that visible hate shapes the environment and produces more of it, not less.

Removing abusive comments in real time doesn't just protect you from one comment. It changes what your comment section communicates to the thousands of people who see it.
