"It means users aged under 18 will automatically be placed into the 13+ setting. They will be able to opt out only with their parents' permission. While the teen accounts already hide or prohibit the recommendation of sexually suggestive content, graphic or disturbing images, and adult content such as tobacco or alcohol, the new PG-13 version will tighten restrictions further."
"It will also block search terms, such as alcohol or gore, even if they are misspelled. While of course there are differences between movies and social media, we made these changes so teens' experience in the 13+ setting feels closer to the Instagram equivalent of watching a PG-13 movie, Meta said, adding that it wanted to alight its policies with an independent standard that parents are familiar with."
Instagram will adopt a PG-13 cinema rating approach for teen accounts, automatically placing users under 18 into a 13+ setting that requires parental permission to opt out. The 13+ setting tightens restrictions by hiding or not recommending strong language, certain risky stunts, and content that could encourage harmful behaviours, and blocks search terms such as alcohol or gore, including misspellings. The setting will not fully prohibit fleeting nudity or moderate violence typical of PG-13 films. The change aligns platform policies with an independent standard familiar to parents and follows research questioning the effectiveness of previous safety tools.
