WALL STREET JOURNAL - Meta said that if users of Instagram try to edit their dates of birth so that they are deemed to be over 18, it will now require additional verification. Instagram is testing three options: requiring users to upload IDs; ask adult Instagram friends to vouch for their ages; or submit videos of their faces that will be analyzed to estimate age. Instagram is adding these extra steps as part of its efforts to ensure an "age-appropriate" experience for minors. While children under 13 are prohibited by the network's terms of service, those who say they are ages 13 to 17 can use it with some limitations.
