UK Regulator Probes Instagram's Disappearing Photos Over Safety Risks

Original: safety

British regulators have opened an investigation into Meta over the safety of Instagram's 'Instants' feature, which lets users send disappearing photos. Officials are examining whether images that vanish after viewing pose risks to children and whether the company's safety assessments were adequate. Separately, TikTok has told a UK court that Ofcom's data requests bypass transparency rules, as scrutiny of major social media platforms intensifies.

Why now: UK regulators have launched a high-profile probe into Meta's Instagram feature, drawing attention to child safety on social media.
