Instaporn - the new craze among surfers

A photo application - Instagram - has caught web users in a frenzy. More than 80 million people are already using the app and sharing their raunchy pictures.

The users have easy access to sexually-suggestive photos and the team moderating the site are unable to police the five million pictures uploaded every day, reports Daily Mail.

Search terms such as 'instaporn', 'handbra' or 'sextragram' bring up tens of thousands of sexual images, the report adds. There are also thousands of comments from users of these pornographic images.

Members are increasingly luring strangers for sex and exchanging pictures.

Kim Kardashian has also posted a picture of herself as "a thank you to her fans after registering 2 million Instagram followers".

Now parents with young kids are a worried lot.

Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Instagram was quoted by Huffington Post as saying they rely on users to flag inappropriate content and that they do their best to remove any media that they determine as inappropriate.
