AI Age Verification: Can Teens Outsmart It?

?Is this privacy change going to be beneficial? Plus why one creator’s video was named the most memorable by TikTok!?

Teen privacy crackdown…?

Instagram is cracking down on teen privacy, whether they like it or not! Meta is rolling out new "teen accounts" that automatically throw users under 18 into private accounts, even if they try to lie about their age. Parents are getting more control too—without spying on DMs, they can still see who their teens are messaging and manage time limits. And if teens trying to dodge the system? Meta's got AI-powered age verification tools up its sleeve to catch those fibbing about their age.?

While some applaud Meta’s move for better online safety, others think it’s too little, too late, and just another PR stunt to avoid real oversight. What do you think??

So, what does this mean for you?

If your profiles cater to youth-centered activities or businesses (think youth nonprofits, clubs or events), you may need to watch what you post to ensure your page doesn’t get set to private.?

On the plus side, as a parent you now have more control, the algorithm is working to flag content that teens shouldn’t be seeing, and it clears up the feed for brands, business owners, and more curated content.?
