An investigation by Design It For Us and Accountable Tech found that Instagram's Teen accounts are serving sexual content despite safety promises.
Over a span of two weeks, all five test Teen accounts showed sexual content despite enabling sensitive content filters.
The flagged content included sexual acts, harmful body image concepts, alcohol consumption promotion, and racist/homophobic/misogynistic content.
Meta claimed the findings were flawed, stating that millions of teens have a safer experience through Instagram Teen Accounts but acknowledged looking into problematic content recommendations.
