Instagram To Release AI That Ensures Safety Against Online Predators
Instagram will introduce an AI-based feature to prevent teenagers from falling prey to online predators. Although users should be 13 years old to create an account, the screening process could be tampered with false birth date details. The new feature can block adults from sending DMs (Direct Messages) to teenagers who do not follow them and issue safety notices upon suspicious activity. Additionally, Instagram will restrict mentioning teenagers' names in 'Suggested Users' to limit reach.
