Meta will use AI to analyze height and bone structure to determine if users are underage

The company is also extending stricter Teen Account protections to more countries and bringing them to Facebook in the U.S.

The push underscores Meta’s broader effort to tighten child-safety enforcement across its apps amid rising legal and regulatory pressure.
