I wonder if whoever ran this test prefers this type of content and its tied to a wifi network, same device, linked account, IP or location and there's no detail of the setting of the test. Too many factors going on to conclude with not a lot of transparency for reproducibility or flaws in the data collection.

It doesn’t matter. The account was marked with an age. IG pushed sexual content to it.

You can add as much other information to the picture as you want, but that’s the black and white issue.

Besides, how often do 13yo’s have their own wifi and IP address?

Ah yes, too complex to really understand what's going on so we will hand wave it away.

It should be a hard rule that people under a certain age CAN NOT have this kind of content recommended, there should be precisely 0 ways for the algorithm to promote sexual material to children.
