"Instagram will prohibit users under 18 from seeing content considered inappropriate for a PG-13-rated movie, extending teen protections that were rolled out last year. The popular social media site, which is owned by Meta Platforms Inc., will use artificial intelligence to determine whether content on the app qualifies as PG-13, a well-known film rating system used by the Motion Picture Association to designate a movie's suitability for certain audiences. Instagram already prohibits recommending certain content to teens, including graphic and sexually suggestive posts."
"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. Teenagers will automatically be placed into these new, stricter settings, and can't change them without a parent's permission, according to the blog."
Instagram will restrict users under 18 from viewing content deemed inappropriate for a PG-13 movie and will use artificial intelligence to classify such content. The restrictions will hide posts with strong language, certain risky stunts, marijuana paraphernalia, and other material already barred from teen recommendations. Teen accounts will be automatically placed into the stricter PG-13-aligned settings, and changes will require parental permission. Instagram is adding a "Limited Content" option for parents seeking tighter controls. Meta has previously introduced teen accounts, blocked livestreaming for under-16s, and uses AI to detect age deception.
