Instagram is making a major update to teen accounts that will only allow them to view content similar to what you would see in a PG-13 movie. Under the new system, Instagram will continue to hide content containing nudity, sexual content, or suggestive poses from teens, but now it will also avoid recommending content with strong swear words and risky stunts across its platform.
What I am worried about is if Instagram decides to implement age prediction algorithms and lump everyone into a teenage account by default.
While that point has not been reached yet, it is realistic given the worldwide push for age verification methods. We should not need to upload our IDs just to be able to access rather benign content.
Can’t wait for Pixelfed to get better
