Users are confused, so who are the mothers’ parenting accounts and why did they block them?

The most suspicious thing is artificial intelligence.

According to the policy, only users over the age of 14 can sign up for Instagram.

Instagram introduced a pilot AI age verification tool last year.

This AI may have mistaken the business for a child when it saw that the account was full of photos of the child.

Alarmed users are sharing ways to make sure the subject of the account is an adult, such as posting pictures of their parents on their profiles or changing their pinned posts to pictures of their parents.

You can also delete baby-related words like ‘baby’, ‘child’ and ‘baby’ from your ID or post, or
Temporary measures such as tagging parents’ accounts
The deletion of promotional columns and commercial posts is also pouring in.

However, there is speculation that the culprit may not necessarily be artificial intelligence.

The account may have been blocked due to another user’s report.

Instagram policy requires disclosure that accounts representing children under 14 are managed by parents or other administrators:
If you doubt it
If it has been violated, other users can report it.

If your account is filled with posts only, such as photos of your child or posts written by your child, you may be mistaken for violating policy or impersonating your child.

It is a policy to protect children from such blocking measures and side effects of social media, but there are many voices that advance notice or opportunity to call should be given before blocking.

It was noted that blocking standards are unclear and that the unilateral implementation of sudden blocking measures needs to be improved.

Instagram operator Meta has not yet made any statement.

Parents who run child care accounts point out how to solve this situation.
