Why did Instagram ever allow adults to message children? Unregulated social media is a threat to the public safety. https://t.co/MfANxQ4pR0 via @Verge

Good move! There are way too many creeps on IG

I wonder how effective will it be to enforce the age restrictions, as it seems trivial to fake the birthday https://t.co/wKzy53NXF9

I think this is a really good move on Instagram’s part. They will prevent adults from messaging kids < 18 unless they follow the adult. They’ll also add warnings to DMs if an adult regularly messages minors: https://t.co/Mvm2e7Xcyt

こんなの”new AI feature”が必要なんだろうか。設定すればいいだけな気がするけど。community managementをAIでっていうの、超一大イシューなはずだけど、決定的なアプローチがホント出ないな。地道な改善パターンかなhttps://t.co/F59tx0BCPC
