""We want to be clear: this is not facial recognition. Our AI looks at general themes and visual cues, for example height or bone structure, to estimate someone's general age; it does not identify the specific person in the image.""
""By combining these visual insights with our analysis of text and interactions, we can significantly increase the number of underage accounts we identify and remove.""
""If the company suspects that a user is under 13, it will deactivate their account. The user will then need to provide proof that they're 13 or older to get back in.""

Meta is enhancing its measures to keep children under 13 off Facebook and Instagram by utilizing artificial intelligence and visual analysis techniques. The AI examines contextual clues and visual indicators, such as height and bone structure, to estimate age without identifying individuals. If a user is suspected to be under 13, their account will be deactivated until proof of age is provided. Additionally, Meta is expanding its systems to automatically categorize users aged 13 to 15 into teen accounts with parental controls, starting in select countries.
