According to The Verge AI, Meta expands Instagram age-estimation checks for teens

According to The Verge AI, Meta is expanding the AI age-estimation system it uses on Instagram to find teens who did not correctly disclose their age, and the rollout will automatically place millions more users into Teen Account protections. The system looks at signals such as who they interact with, birthday messages, and visual cues in uploaded photos and videos, and Meta has also started using Apple’s age-range signal in Australia. U.S. parents will begin receiving an in-app notice next month explaining the process.
