Instagram 自動模糊發給青少年的私訊中的裸露內容

Instagram will automatically blur nude images in direct messages sent to users under 18 by default and encourage adult users through a notification to turn on the feature, the company announced Thursday.

該公司週四宣布，預設情況下，Instagram 將自動模糊發送給 18 歲以下用戶的直接訊息中的裸照，並透過通知鼓勵成年用戶打開該功能。

The update aims to both protect users from seeing unwanted nudity in their direct messages as well as from potential sextortion scammers who may send nudge images to get others to send their own back, Instagram said in a blog post.

Instagram 在一篇部落格文章中表示，更新的目的是保護用戶免於在私訊中看到不必要的裸露內容，以及潛在的性勒索詐騙者，他們可能會發送輕推圖片以讓其他人發回自己的圖片。

It comes after Instagram’s parent company Meta has faced pressure along with other social media platforms to put more controls in place to protect teens online from potential harms, including sextortion scams in which someone threatens to expose sensitive images unless the victim meets certain demands.

在此之前，Instagram 的母公司Meta 與其他社交媒體平台一起面臨壓力，要求採取更多控制措施，以保護青少年在網路上免受潛在傷害，包括性勒索詐騙，其中有人威脅要曝光敏感圖像，除非受害者滿足某些要求。

The update will automatically blur nude photos under a warning screen that says a “photo may contain nudity” before a user chooses to view it or not. The app will also send users a message that tells them “don’t feel pressured to respond” and an option to block the sender and report the chat.

在用戶選擇是否查看之前，更新將在警告畫面下自動模糊裸照，並顯示「照片可能包含裸露內容」。該應用程式還將向用戶發送一條訊息，告訴他們“不要感到有回應的壓力”，並提供阻止寄件者並舉報聊天的選項。

When the nudity protection feature is turned on, users who send images containing nudity will also see a message that reminds them to “take care when sharing sensitive photos,” and they will be allowed to “unsend these photos” if they have changed their mind.

開啟裸露保護功能後，發送包含裸露圖片的用戶還會看到一條訊息，提醒他們“分享敏感照片時要小心”，如果他們改變主意，他們將被允許“取消發送這些照片” 。

A similar notification will pop up for anyone who tries to forward a nude image they’ve received, urging them to reconsider before they share.

任何試圖轉發收到的裸照的人都會彈出類似的通知，敦促他們在分享之前重新考慮。

Instagram’s update comes after mounting pressure for Meta and other tech companies to protect youth on their platforms. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and the CEOs of Snap, Discord, X and TikTok faced a Senate panel in January over risks their platforms pose for teens.

Instagram 的更新是在 Meta 和其他科技公司面臨越來越大的壓力以保護其平台上的青少年之後發布的。 Meta 執行長 Mark Zuckerberg 以及 Snap、Discord、X 和 TikTok 的執行長於 1 月面臨參議院小組討論，討論他們的平台對青少年構成的風險。

The House Energy and Commerce Committee is holding a hearing Wednesday on a series of bills that aim to protect children online, along with a newly unveiled comprehensive data privacy bill.

眾議院能源和商業委員會將於週三就一系列旨在保護上網兒童的法案以及新公佈的全面資料隱私法案舉行聽證會。

The Senate Commerce Committee advanced several bills aimed at boosting protections for kids online with bipartisan support, but they have not yet been called for a floor vote.

參議院商業委員會在兩黨的支持下提出了幾項旨在加強對上網兒童的保護的法案，但尚未要求進行全體投票。
