Meanwhile, Meta is currently testing new tools to protect teenagers from intimate image abuse and sextortion across its apps. As part of these measures, Meta will automatically apply stricter message settings for teenagers and will display safety notices to teenagers who are already in contact with potentially fraudulent accounts. Additionally, Meta will introduce a dedicated option for users to report messages that threaten to disclose their private images.
