Instagram's AI may catch teens lying about their age

My own niece has told me for years that she and her friends could get around age restrictions on Facebook and Instagram when they were younger. They knew how easy it was to make themselves appear older online. And I suspect plenty of parents have heard similar stories. So when I heard that Meta was expanding its AI technology to identify teens who lie about their age, my first thought was, it's about time.

On November 9, Meta announced a worldwide expansion of its AI age-estimation technology.
