Meta is implementing new measures on Instagram to enhance teen safety, particularly against sextortion, by introducing features to filter and block scammy accounts.
The updates include moving suspicious follow requests to spam, alerts for messages from potentially dangerous accounts, and preventing them from accessing follower lists.
Instagram's new policies will limit teens' capabilities to screenshot intimate images in DMs, and it will automatically blur images containing nudity to further protect young users.
These actions by Meta target the vulnerabilities teens face regarding sextortion—a manipulation tactic that exploits them into sharing intimate content.
