Instagram is adding more features, leveraging on artificial intelligence and machine learning technology, to keep teenagers away from potential predators on its platform. — dpa
Instagram is to restrict the ability of adults to contact teenagers who do not follow them on the platform as part of new safety tools aimed at protecting younger users.
Under the new rules, adults will be blocked from sending a direct message (DM) to any Instagram user under 18 if that account does not already follow them.
