Meta is expanding its AI-powered age-detection technology globally to identify teenagers who use fake birth dates to appear as adults on Instagram. More users aged 13 to 17 will be placed under Teen Account safety settings. Meta is also introducing Apple's age-range signal in Australia, and is rolling out similar AI age detectors for Facebook. The expansion follows growing government concern over children's social media habits.
