INSTAGRAM WILL USE AI TO IDENTIFY TEENS USING ADULT ACCOUNTS

Summary from the TLDR Marketing newsletter

Instagram is using AI to identify underage users who lied about their birth date and move them into teen accounts with stricter safety features. It recently restricted live streaming for users under 16 and now requires parental consent to turn off filters that blur nude images in DMs. At least 54M teens are enrolled in teen accounts, and most users aged 13-15 keep that setting. Meta faces lawsuits, including from California, for allegedly failing to protect minors on its platforms.
