Instagram has announced new policies to limit interactions between teenagers and adults to protect young people on the platform.
Instagram will now prevent adults from sending messages to people under 18 who don’t follow them:
“For example, when an adult tries to message a teen who doesn’t follow them, they receive a notification that DM’ing them isn’t an option. This feature relies on our work to predict peoples’ ages using machine learning technology, and the age people give us when they sign up.”
