Meta is implementing stricter safeguards for Instagram accounts primarily featuring children to prevent abuse. These accounts will have the strictest message settings and the 'Hidden Words' feature enabled.
Meta will also prevent suspicious adults from finding these accounts and is rolling out new safety features for teen accounts, including safety tips, display of account creation date in chats, and a combined block and report option.
The company has removed numerous accounts sexualizing children and reports high usage of its nudity protection filter in DMs.
