"Instagram Introduces Tools to Combat Sextortion and Nudity in Messages"

TL;DR Summary
Instagram is introducing new tools to protect young users from sexual extortion, including a feature that automatically blurs nudity in direct messages. The platform aims to combat sexual scams and "image abuse" by making it harder for criminals to contact teens. The nudity-protection feature will be turned on by default for users under 18 and will include warnings and options to block senders and report chats. The move comes as part of a broader effort by Meta Platforms to enhance online safety for young people.
