A logo of mobile application Instagram is seen on a mobile phone, during a conference in Mumbai, India, Sept 20, 2023.Instagram will test features that blur messages containing nudity to safeguard teens and prevent potential scammers from reaching them, its parent Meta said on Thursday as it tries to allay concerns over harmful content on its apps.
Meta said the protection feature for Instagram's direct messages would use on-device machine learning to analyse whether an image sent through the service contains nudity. "Because the images are analysed on the device itself, nudity protection will also work in end-to-end encrypted chats, where Meta won't have access to these images — unless someone chooses to report them to us," the company said.
Meta also said that it was developing technology to help identify accounts that might be potentially engaging in sextortion scams and that it was testing new pop-up messages for users who might have interacted with such accounts.
