Instagram announced plans to test a 'nudity protection' feature designed to prevent unwanted sexual images among users and discourage the sending of nude images, automatically enabling it for users under 18. The feature will blur images detected as containing nudity and include warnings, alongside messages promoting caution and the option to unsend photos. This initiative is part of Instagram's efforts to combat sextortion and improve online safety for teens, coinciding with increasing regulation of social media platforms to protect young users.
