One question. If they know those are minors and that they know that the pictures are nudes, why the hell don’t they just ban the accounts that try to send nudes to minors? Also who the hell thinks it is a good idea to send nudes to Meta?
Because not everyone lives in ~~Saudi-Arabia or Texas~~ a country dominated by religious conservatives?
ETA: I'm sorry. I shouldn't have made it about specific countries.
So you're saying you want to send nudes to minors?
If an 18 year old girl sends a spicy picture to her 17 year old boyfriend, that probably shouldn't warrant the same reaction as a 15 year old receiving porn in her dms from some 40 year old stranger. Black and white thinking typically doesn't lead to fair policies and implying that someone wants to creep on random children because they recognize that nuance exists seems a little disingenuous.
If the 17-year-old sends one back, that's already a crime in many places. It could get him prosecuted for production and her for possession. If he uploads the picture to a chat group, the real fun starts.
The article says this is about nudity, not selfies. IDK how kids use instagram, but I'd guess that the senders are mainly kids sharing horny pics from somewhere else.
