Meta has developed an AI system to analyze photos and videos for height and bone structure to identify users under 13 on Facebook and Instagram. This system will also examine posts and comments for contextual clues indicating underage users. Accounts identified as underage will be deactivated, requiring age verification to prevent deletion. Following a legal ruling against Meta for misleading customers about safety, the company is also expanding technology to categorize users aged 13 to 18 into Teen Accounts with stricter controls. Meta advocates for age verification at the app store level.
