Instagram testing two new methods to verify users’ age

Published

  • Instagram says it is testing two different ways for users to verify their age online. 
  • Yoti, an AI tool, will estimate ages once users upload a video selfie of themselves. 
  • Second option lets people select three mutuals who would verify users’ age.

Meta-owned platform Instagram announced Thursday that it is testing new methods to verify users’ age on their platform. 

The photo/video sharing application said that it is testing two different ways which would allow the users to verify their age online, starting from the United States, Business Recorder reported. 

The app will also allow the users to upload their identities online. 

Director of data governance at Meta, Erica Finkle, said: “When we know if someone is a teen (13-17 years), we provide them with age-appropriate experiences like defaulting them into private accounts, preventing unwanted contact from adults they don’t know and limiting the options advertisers have to reach them with ads.” 

Instagram is partnering with Yoti — an AI tool which estimates an age of a person by scanning their face. 

Yoti will estimate the ages once the users upload a video selfie of themselves. The social app said that the videos will be deleted after the age verification. 

The second option lets the people select three mutuals who would verify the users’ age. However, those verifying must be at least 18 years old. 

The decision comes after Instagram was heavily criticised following the launch of Instagram Kids, which ended up putting the project on pause.

By

‘Mirzapur’, the crime drama that has enthralled global audiences, has been officially renewed for a fourth season.

Prime Video and Excel Media and Entertainment have announced that they are currently in the process of developing the next installment of the series, following the immense success of Season 3. The recent launch of the ‘Mirzapur’ Season 3 bonus episode has generated significant anticipation and conjecture over future developments.

Confirmation has been received for the production of Mirzapur 4.

The announcement of the creation of Season 4 is expected, considering the highly positive reception of Season 3. Nikhil Madhok, the head of India Originals at Prime Video, highlighted the significant influence of the show by claiming that the third season of Mirzapur had surpassed all prior records, including those established by Season 2. This achievement underscores the profound bond that viewers feel with the characters in the show.

Ritesh Sidhwani, a producer at Excel Media and Entertainment, expressed his gratitude by echoing the notion that the response from the audiences has been remarkable. The love and support they received from the start has transformed Mirzapur into a worldwide sensation.

What is the release date for Mirzapur 4?

The precise release date for ‘Mirzapur’ Season 4 is currently unknown, but there is speculation that the new season might not be available until late 2025 or early 2026. The publication schedule for prior seasons has been somewhat erratic, with substantial intervals between them.

There was an almost four-year gap between the airing of Season 2 in October 2020 and the release of Season 3 in July 2024, much to the anticipation of fans. Based on this pattern, it is improbable that a release in 2025 will occur, although there is still a possibility that Karan Anshuman and Puneet Krishna, the developers, may astonish the audience.

Cast members that are coming back

Key characters integral to the ‘Mirzapur’ storyline will make a comeback, much to the anticipation of fans. Pankaj Tripathi will return to play the character of Kaleen Bhaiya, the powerful head of the criminal underworld in Mirzapur. Ali Fazal is set to reprise his role as Guddu Pandit, whose relentless pursuit of power and vengeance has been a central theme in the series. Additional members of the cast who are returning include:

  • Rasika Dugal portrays the character of Beena Tripathi. – Shweta Tripathi plays the role of Golu Gupta.
    Vijay Varma portrays the character of Shatrughan Tyagi.
    Isha Talwar portrays the character of Madhuri Yadav.

Anticipated Elements in ‘Mirzapur 4’

Although the particular storyline specifics for Season 4 of ‘Mirzapur’ are currently undisclosed, it is evident that the conflicts for power and the changes in alliances will continue to escalate. The remarkable survival of Guddu Pandit and the lasting influence of Kaleen Bhaiya indicate that their trajectories will intersect in novel and unforeseen manners.

The series is expected to further delve into the criminal underworld and intricate power dynamics in northern India, which have played a crucial role in its success.

The producers of the widely acclaimed crime series ‘Mirzapur 3’ recently unveiled a supplementary episode on August 30, following a two-month gap since the season’s first broadcast on Prime Video. The episode is advertised as a spectacular comeback of the character Munna Bhaiya, played by Divyendu Sharma. However, it actually consists of a compilation of scenes that were removed from the third season.

The bonus episode commences with Munna Tripathi acknowledging the fervent request from his fans for his reappearance. The departure I made created a significant commotion. I have been informed that our devoted supporters have much longed for my presence. I truly also missed all of you. “Loyalty is of utmost importance to me, and your steadfast support merits a reward,” he declares. Subsequently, he discloses that the episode included previously unreleased footage from ‘Mirzapur 3’.
