    Doesn’t instagram claim messages are e2e encrypted? How can this work without them having access to all messages?

      From an ethical standpoint I would say teenagers should be allowed to send each other nudes, but from a corporate liability standpoint I don’t wanna have anything to do with that.

    So… they can identify when someone in a conversation is a minor. And they can identify when nudes are being sent. But when these two are combined, they figure just blurring the image is the appropriate solution?

      Perhaps to avoid false positives? I think it’s telling the minor, “hey, this might be a dick. Open only if you trust the person”.

    Yeah, this is definitely gonna work, as if I haven’t been over 18 years old since I was 12 years old, according to every birthdate question ever.

          Lmfao for real, putting my fake age as born in 2000 would make me younger 🙃

        That was well below 18 for most of the time I have used the Internet. People born on that day were toddlers when I started to seriously use the Internet.

        I could nowadays enter my real DOB and get through all checks but I usually still pick something in the 1970s or 1980s.

        If the default date is old enough to get past the prompt, I use that one. If it isn’t, I pick a random year that is. I don’t have to lie unless I want a senior discount or something, but I just don’t want to share my birthdate with any random site or service.

    Wouldn’t not permitting minors to use the service at all make this issue moot?

    Honestly seems like a healthy feature. Everything is supposedly on-device, so it’s not like the AI police are banning anything, just smartly giving tools and advice to vulnerable people.

      “Supposedly”

      Right.

      Why not just don’t allow minors to use the service?

    In case it wasn’t already obvious that they are not encrypting like they said they were…

    Did anyone ask for this feature? Are you telling me that when a kid receives a photo blurred out in IG, shim is just going move on and be like ‘gee I’m just going to have to wait’. They have to have a phone number and email address to set up the account right??!!

    What about images sent from Japan? Aren’t they all pixelated by default? /s

    Daddy, what’s noodity? Oh! So peepee pictures is nudity? How come I can’t see all the peepee in my phone?

    Anyway, to prevent this conversation, maybe labele the images “content not appropriate or not allowed”. It works for mastodon. We literally can’t see a tit or dick unless we double click on the fussy image. So why only minors? Just add a switch for everyone.
