Meta Uses AI to Identify Underage Users on Instagram, Triggering Protective Mode

Meta has announced it will use artificial intelligence (AI) to verify the age of teenage users on Instagram, preventing users from misrepresenting their age. This measure aims to enhance the online safety of teenagers, ensuring they use social media in a protected environment. Meta stated that once the system detects an account suspected of belonging to a teenager, even if the user has entered an adult birthday, the system will automatically place it in "teen account" mode. Instagram reportedly implemented this last year.
