Teen accounts on Instagram are subject to more restrictive settings: by default, teen accounts are private, strangers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/1\/25\/24050207\/meta-instagram-messenger-messaging-restrictions-minors-teens-parental-settings\">aren\u2019t able to send them messages<\/a>, and Instagram <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/8\/25\/23322141\/instagram-sensitive-content-default-settings-teens\">limits what kind of content teens see<\/a>. Last year, Instagram changed the settings for all teens on the platform so that safety features were automatically enabled.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">The company now says it will use AI to proactively look for teen accounts that have an adult birthday, and change settings for users it suspects are kids. In a blog post, Instagram says it will begin testing the feature today in the US. If it detects that a user is actually a child but the account says otherwise, Instagram will automatically place it under the more restrictive teen settings. Instagram acknowledges the possibility that the system will make errors \u2014 the company says users will have the ability to change their settings back.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meta is expanding how it uses AI to detect teens on Instagram \u2014 and, in some cases, will begin overriding account settings.
