"Instagram Introduces Nudity-Blurring in DMs to Combat Sextortion and Protect Teens"

Instagram is testing a new feature to automatically blur nudity in direct messages as part of its efforts to protect young people from sexual extortion and other forms of "image abuse." The feature will be turned on by default for users under 18 and will encourage people to think twice before sending nude images. The platform is also working on technology to identify accounts potentially engaging in sexual extortion scams and taking measures to prevent criminals from connecting with young people, including hiding teens from potential sextortion accounts.
