Instagram is implementing new features to prevent users from screenshotting images intended for single viewing, aiming to combat sextortion targeting teens.
Meta has announced permanent tools like image blurring and hidden follower lists for better protection against the rise in sextortion scams on social media.
The NSPCC welcomes Instagram's moves as a positive step, but questions the lack of similar protections across all Meta products, particularly WhatsApp.
Recent reports indicate that over 90% of sextortion incidents were linked to male victims, stressing the need for increased safety measures across platforms.
