The Meta-owned app is testing video selfies with facial analysis software as a new age-verification method. Meta says it hopes the new methods will ensure teens have an “age-appropriate experience” on Instagram. The tech giant has previously faced criticism over teen and child safety on its platforms. Some users on Instagram try to skirt its 13+ age rule by editing their date of birth to make them appear over 18. Instagram is now exploring new ways for teenagers to verify their age and comply with platform rules. Will this technology really help ?
