Facebook is using AI to spot scammers and imposters on Messenger — without reading your chats.
The feature uses machine learning to detect suspicious activity, such as adults sending out loads of friend or message requests to children.
When it spots suspect behavior, it sends an in-app warning to the top of the conversation. This prompts users to block or ignore shady accounts, and provides tips on how to avoid potential scams.
