"Just like you might see some suggestive content or hear some strong language in a PG-13 movie, teens may occasionally see something like that on Instagram - but we're going to keep doing all we can to keep those instances as rare as possible. We recognize no system is perfect, and we're committed to improving over time. We hope this update reassures parents that we're working to show teens safe, age-appropriate content on Instagram by default."
"The Motion Picture Association was not contacted by Meta prior to the announcement of its new content moderation tool for Instagram Teen Accounts. We welcome efforts to protect kids from content that may not be appropriate for them, but assertions that Instagram's new tool will be 'guided by PG-13 movie ratings' or have any connection to the film industry's rating system are inaccurate,"
The Motion Picture Association issued a cease-and-desist to Meta demanding that Instagram stop using the "PG-13" designation for teen account protections. Instagram updated teen settings to be "guided by PG-13 movie ratings," automatically placing teen accounts into a 13+ setting with opt-out requiring parental permission. Meta said teens may occasionally see suggestive content or strong language similar to PG-13 movies but promised to minimize such instances and improve over time to reassure parents while giving them tools to shape teen experiences. The MPA said it was not consulted and called Instagram's PG-13 linkage inaccurate and harmful to the rating.
