Meta has announced it will roll out AI-powered age estimation technology worldwide, bringing millions of teen users on Instagram who misreported themselves as adults under the protection of teen accounts. Teen accounts span multiple Meta apps and come with a range of built-in safeguards. Meta is stepping up its age-verification efforts, and the technology will also be extended to Facebook; Threads is slated for a global launch later this year. Meta has previously faced multiple lawsuits alleging that its platforms harmed underage users, and has reached high-value settlements with several U.S. states and territories. The company has agreed to improve its methods for identifying teens and children under 13, and has also settled with a teen plaintiff in a related Los Angeles lawsuit.
