📱 Meta upgrades AI age detection on Instagram and Facebook

Meta is rolling out new AI systems to detect underage users across its apps. The tools analyze photos, videos, text, and behavior patterns to estimate age and flag suspicious accounts.

What’s changing:

➡️ AI now looks at visual signals like height and bone structure
➡️ Meta says it is not using facial recognition
➡️ Accounts suspected to belong to minors can be deactivated until age is verified
➡️ Reporting underage accounts is getting simplified
➡️ Teen detection tools are expanding across the EU and Brazil

Meta is under pressure from regulators after criticism that current systems don’t do enough to protect minors.

The interesting part is how far platforms are now willing to go with automated identity analysis just to enforce age limits.

And kids are already finding ways around it.
