Instagram has announced a series of new measures aimed at combating sextortion scams targeting users, particularly teens. These features include blocking screenshots from disappearing stories, restricting suspicious accounts from accessing follower information, and issuing geolocation alerts for chats with users from other countries. Additionally, 'Teen Accounts' will have stricter safety protocols, including automatic blurring of nude images in direct messages. These initiatives come in response to rising sextortion cases involving minors, with Meta striving to enhance online safety and user privacy.
