Instagram will default teen accounts to a PG-13 movie rating, automatically placing users under 18 into an updated 13+ setting without opt-out unless a parent permits. The PG-13 guidance means teens may occasionally encounter suggestive content or strong language similar to a PG-13 movie. Instagram states it will work to keep such instances rare and acknowledges no system is perfect while committing to ongoing improvements. Multiple countries and regions are moving toward stricter age-based social media restrictions, with proposals targeting under-15 or under-16 access limits in parts of Europe, Spain, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, and Norway.
