Meta is deploying AI to analyze physical traits like height and bone structure to detect and remove underage users from its platforms.Summary
Meta has announced the implementation of an AI-driven system designed to identify and remove users under the age of 13 from Facebook and Instagram. The technology analyzes visual cues such as height and bone structure, clarifying that it does not perform facial recognition. By combining this data with text and interaction patterns, Meta aims to enforce age restrictions more effectively. If a user is flagged, their account may be deactivated pending formal age verification. This initiative follows increasing regulatory pressure regarding child safety on social media.
