Comment on Instagram will blur nudes in messages sent to minors

Because they are sent from minors to minors too? Teens are horny, they copy adults making nudes, sometimes just sharing porn. Recently there were problems with classmates using pornLLM to undress their peers. The abuse problem is harsher, but I feel it’s the minority of nudes received by minors. Honestly, I’d have changed the EULA to forbid it on a public service like Insta, because unlike messengers there is everything to be deanonymized and explicitly targeted by an abuser, including stalking and threats IRL. For Insta, there could be a rule to ban uploading images to Direct of <18 y.o. users, only reposts, meaning they are publically availiable and may get reported by other users and brought down by existing policies without breaking E2EE.

I haven’t heard of that law be strictly enforced tho. For one reason - teens are stupid and don’t know laws, even though they fall under them. But yeah, most civilized places have laws against production of minor porn that doesn’t specify age, but can walk around the problem if it’s produced by a consenting party, of themselves, and without a big age difference.

The “problem” here (if you think so) is that if law enforcement in Germany gets to know about a case like this, they cannot choose themselves not to act on it.
