Instagram Now Requires New Users To Provide Their Age

Instagram now requires users to provide their birthdays to prevent underage access and enhance safety. Ads for age-restricted products will not be shown to minors. Birthdays will help create tailored experiences for young users. Despite these changes, Instagram won't verify ages, leading to criticism over potential privacy issues. Google recently faced a fine for similar data collection practices on YouTube.
