Instagram has introduced new safety measures to protect young users from sexual extortion by implementing a feature that automatically blurs nudity in direct messages (DMs). This initiative by Meta Platforms aims to prevent sextortion, particularly among teenagers. The decision to make these safety features default comes after some initial reluctance by Meta to implement such measures.
