Meta is taking steps to stop the spread of 'revenge porn' images of teenagers on Facebook and Instagram.
Meta is taking steps to crack down on the spread of "revenge porn" images of teenagers on Facebook and Instagram.
"This issue has been incredibly important to Meta for a very, very long time because the damage done is quite severe in the context of teens or adults," said Antigone Davis, Meta's global safety director. "It can do damage to their reputation and familial relationships, and puts them in a very vulnerable position. It's important that we find tools like this to help them regain control of what can be a very difficult and devastating situation.
Meta's efforts come nearly a year and a half after Davis was grilled by Senators about the impact its apps have on younger users, after an explosive report indicated the company was aware that Facebook-owned Instagram could have a "toxic" effect on teen girls. Although the company has rolled out a handful of new tools and protections since then, some experts say it has taken too long and more needs to be done.
"Sextortion is one of the biggest growing crimes we see at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children," said Gavin Portnoy, vice president of communications and branding at NCMEC. "We're calling it the hidden pandemic, and nobody is really talking about it."
