Instagram will blur nude images sent to minors

It should be remembered that in December of last year, the attorney general of New Mexico filed a lawsuit based on an investigation where false profiles of children and adolescents were created, which attracted adults in search of that content.

As part of the examples presented in the case, a fake account of a 13-year-old girl stood out that reached around 7,000 followers, who were mostly adult men and who even asked her to communicate with them through other means of messaging. or meet in person.

The document also highlighted that these accounts received messages with “photographs and videos of genitals” and although they attempted to report the posts and accounts, the response was that they had not violated the Community Standards.

Likewise, according to the investigation, the algorithms of these platforms also recommended sexual content to children. In response at that time, Meta expanded the terms, phrases and emojis related to child safety to find networks of predators, in addition to highlighting the collaboration they have with companies and authorities.
