140
Meta wants to protect children better. Meta uses AI for this now. AI stands for artificial intelligence. It is a smart computer program. This program checks the age of users. It checks users on Facebook and Instagram.
The software looks for hints about age. It sees pictures of birthday cakes. It reads birthday wishes in comments.
Does the AI find a child under 13? Meta deletes the account at once. Users can protest against this. They must show an ID card. They must prove: I am old enough.
Older teens must be careful too. Who lies about their age gets strict rules. Meta calls these accounts teen accounts.
The EU Commission pushes Meta. It asks for better protection for young people. These new rules exist in Germany and worldwide. Many firms in Germany use AI now. The number of firms with AI grows fast.
