❗️UPDATE: META TO USE NEW AI VISUAL ANALYSIS TOOLS TO SCAN USERS PHOTOS & VIDEOS

Meta has announced it will start to use visual analysis such as height and bone structure to identify if an account likely belongs to someone underage.

Meta will use this new visual analysis in conjunction with existing contextual tools (eg. birthday celebrations) and account characteristics (eg. posts and comments).

If an account is found to be underage, to prevent it from being deleted the account holder will need to provide proof of age via existing age verification.

Meta has assured users this is not facial recognition and does not identify the specific person in the image or video.

Meta is also making it easier to report underage accounts and is strengthening measures to prevent users circumventing age requirements and creating new underage accounts.

Meta says this change is about keeping kids safe;
