Instagram To Limit Interactions Between Teens and Adults

Instagram To Limit Interactions, Between Teens and Adults.
The new polices are aimed at making the
app more safe for teens and children.
Adults are now banned from
sending direct messages to teens,
unless that user follows the adult.
Teens who send direct messages to adults
will also receive "safety prompts" if the adult
has exhibited "potentially suspicious behavior.”.
These notices will encourage users to
“be careful sharing photos, videos, or
information with someone you don’t know.” .
Teen users who are new to the site will now
be encouraged to make their profile private.
Instagram is also instituting new AI technology
to attempt to detect the actual age of users
when they create a profile.
These policies will go into effect
this month in some countries.
They will be implemented globally "soon."
