Sextortion often occurs when an extortionist befriends a victim on social media and pressures them into sharing explicit images, which are then used for blackmail.
Instagram's campaign is a multi-faceted approach aimed at making the platform safer for teens, leveraging insights from organizations dedicated to combating online exploitation.
Online safety advocates have commended Instagram’s initiative, emphasizing that joint efforts to inform and empower young individuals are critical for combating sextortion.
By introducing new features such as scam account detection and crisis counseling connections, Instagram is taking steps to protect vulnerable users from extortion.
