What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Meta is expanding its AI-powered age-estimation technology globally on Instagram to identify teenage users who may have registered with an adult birth date. This rollout will automatically place millions of teenagers into Instagram's Teen Accounts, which restrict content and contact. The technology identifies suspected teenagers even if their registered birth dates suggest otherwise. In Australia, Meta has begun using Apple's age-range signal for this purpose.
