Answer(s):

Instagram's new rules for account creation


In a press release on Wednesday, Instagram said that if anyone wants to register on Instagram in a fresh way, he must be at least 13 years old.

The purpose of this move is to make Instagram compatible with US law. As well as their own policy, it is mentioned that no one under the age of 13 can register on Instagram.

According to an Instagram blog, this rule will not only prevent underage adults from registering on Instagram, but it will also help keep young people registered.

The company says the new rules will not allow anyone to know about the age. However, they have not yet confirmed how the company will determine the exact age of the users.

The announcement comes a day after TechCrunch issued a news release stating that Instagram did not follow the same rules as other social media platforms for verifying users' age. As a result, Instagram is violating the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act.

The notice also says that since both Facebook and Instagram have the same moderator, they will be able to close any account under 13 years of any suspicion.
