Starting with people in the United States, new tools are being tested for Instagram Age Verification.
The photo-sharing service owned by Meta Platforms Inc said it is testing two new ways to verify a person’s age, in addition to allowing them to upload their identity proof online.
In the words of Meta –
“When we know if someone is a teen (13-17 years), we provide them with age-appropriate experiences like defaulting them into private accounts, preventing unwanted contact from adults they don’t know and limiting the options advertisers have to reach them with ads,”
Instagram has partnered with Yoti, a company that specializes in online age verification to ensure users’ privacy.
Users can upload a video selfie to verify their age, after which Yoti’s technology estimates their age based on facial features. Both Meta and Yoti will delete the image once the age has been verified.
Another option is for people to select three mutual followers to confirm the user’s age, and the person vouching must be at least 18 years old.
Let’s see how this works for Instagram.
Instagram Age Verification Tools are being currently tested for users in United States only.
