☆ On Instagram, a Jewelry Ad Draws Solicitations for Sex With a 5-Year-Old
  + stars: | 2024-05-13 | by ( Michael H. Keller | Jennifer Valentino-Devries | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
When a children’s jewelry maker began advertising on Instagram, she promoted photos of a 5-year-old girl wearing a sparkly charm to users interested in parenting, children, ballet and other topics identified by Meta as appealing mostly to women. But when the merchant got the automated results of her ad campaign from Instagram, the opposite had happened: The ads had gone almost entirely to adult men. Perplexed and concerned, the merchant contacted The New York Times, which in recent years has published multiple articles about the abuse of children on social media platforms. In February, The Times investigated Instagram accounts run by parents for their young daughters, and the dark underworld of men who have sexualized interactions with those accounts. With the photos from the jewelry ads in hand, The Times set out to understand why they attracted an unwanted audience.

☆ Instagram and Facebook Subscriptions Get New Scrutiny in Child Safety Suit
  + stars: | 2024-02-26 | by ( Michael H. Keller | Jennifer Valentino-Devries | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
The New Mexico attorney general, who last year sued Meta alleging that it did not protect children from sexual predators and had made false claims about its platforms’ safety, announced Monday that his office would examine how the company’s paid-subscription services attract predators. Attorney General Raúl Torrez said he had formally requested documentation from the social media company about subscriptions on Facebook and Instagram, which are frequently available on children’s accounts run by parents. Instagram does not allow users under 13, but accounts that focus entirely on children are permitted as long as they are managed by an adult. The New York Times published an investigation on Thursday into girl influencers on the platform, reporting that the so-called mom-run accounts charge followers up to $19.99 a month for additional photos as well as chat sessions and other extras. The Times found that adult men subscribe to the accounts, including some who actively participate in forums where people discuss the girls in sexual terms.

☆ Five Takeaways From The Times’s Investigation Into Child Influencers

Instagram does not allow children under 13 to have accounts, but parents are allowed to run them — and many do so for daughters who aspire to be social media influencers. What often starts as a parent’s effort to jump-start a child’s modeling career, or win favors from clothing brands, can quickly descend into a dark underworld dominated by adult men, many of whom openly admit on other platforms to being sexually attracted to children, an investigation by The New York Times found.
