        Nanny-state bull.

        It's like what Apple and MS do, but with parenting. You keep making things as a way to appease incompetence instead of making any attempt to solve the problem of incompetence itself, perpetuating the issue.

        People already barely pay attention to their own kids outside of giving orders or discussing dinner and homework, things like this will only damage families and thusly societies across the world even more.

        Make parents accept the responsibility of being parents.

                Why does IG need minor's/children's pictures to store privately on their servers or use in their machine learning POS?
                Seriously, this company must be filled with the largest number of CSAM diddlers operating brazenly in the open, if their closed facebook groups filled with some of the worst filth are any indicators.

                US should stop bending over backwards, for these "too big to fail" companies, hold them accountable or at least DO SOMETHING.

                  And why would I want an external company to check my face? I’d rather delete this pile of garbage if it ever happens

                    It's time to make new FB, IG, etc. that will not require your biometric data, address, ID, phone number, device ID, vouching friends, etc.
                    It's not bank nor government agency, so f*ck off Zuck

                      Instead of adding new features to Instagram, it's better to fix these annoying bugs in existing features.

                        Some of my high school friends would have a serious problem, since they looked very young eve at the age of nearly 20. :-D

                              Digital nazism era!

                                This is ridiculous

                                  Instagram should fix everything, before trying anything! We only see reels/suggestions on the front page now, and not our own or the ones we follow. But I guess the instability is the punishment for the stop of stealing our information in EU.

                                      this should be applied to all sosmed in the world.at leat it can minimize kid defect.for defective kid who try bypass this method who caress about them

                                        13 years is very young, why not 20 and above. Also tiktok should be 50+ years old.
