HI JUST JOSHIN I'M WOGI

Seriously what is this crap

I think it's an AI summary (if you read just the highlighted part)

I'm 100% in the second camp. Facebook having my ID is a much bigger issue than having my kids' profile be public. I as a parent can ensure my kids' profiles are acceptable, or mark them as private myself. I can't ensure Facebook deletes my ID after verifying my identity.

Yes, kids should be safer online, and that starts at home. Educate parents and kids about how to stay safe, that's as far as it should go.

Anything to prevent getting my i.d in a database, i would actually be ok with using an ai to verify my age by my appearance if it really came down to it and I had to choose legally some form of age verification.

Yeah, I'm not sure. People are calling it highlighting, but it doesn't fit any reasonable pattern to have been manually highlighted. Is there some sort of bad automated highlighting? Or just someone still learning what highlighting is even used for. Or is it just some sort of style thing?

They are not. They just make it look like they care, but nothing actually changes

the weirder thing is teens using their real identity online at all.

They have an account their parents can see and private accounts

Not really, teenagers naturally want to socialize. It's pretty normal. Is it the best thing? no.

but kids will always find a way around it.

A desktop PC or laptop with strict parental controls is adequate enough

You made an infinite loop and the process has hung.

Trying to avoid regulations of course.

Meta said it was fully expecting many teenagers would try to evade the new measures.

"The more restrictive the experience is, the stronger the theoretical incentive for a teen to try and work around the restriction," Mr Mosseri said.

In response, the company is launching and developing new tools to catch them out.

Instagram already asks for proof of age from teenage users trying to change their listed date of birth to an adult one, and has done since 2022.

Now, as a new measure, if an underage user tries to set up a new Instagram account with an adult date of birth on the same device, the platform will notice and force them to verify their age.

In a statement, the company said it was not sharing all the tools it was using, "because we don't want to give teens an instruction manual".

"So we are working on all these tools, some of them already exist … we need to improve [them] and figure out how to provide protections for those we think are lying about their age," Mr Mosseri said.

The most stubborn category of "age-liars" are underage users who lied about their age at the outset.

But Meta said it was developing AI tools to proactively detect those people by analysing user behaviour, networks and the way they interact with content.
