Instagram will blur nudes in messages sent to minors
Adult users will also be notified that they can enable the feature.
Instagram is preparing to roll out a new safety feature that blurs nude images in messages, as part of efforts to protect minors on the platform from abuse and sexually exploitative scams. When the protection is enabled, Instagram users who receive nude photographs will be presented with a message telling them not to feel pressured to respond, alongside options to block and report the sender. This is the latest of Meta’s attempts to bolster protections for children on its platforms, having backed a tool for taking sexually explicit images of minors offline in February 2023 and restricting their access to harmful topics like suicide, self-harm, and eating disorders earlier this year.
