Instagram is making all teen accounts ‘PG-13’

Instagram is introducing new restrictions for teen accounts on its platform. The key points are: - Teen accounts will only allow content similar to what would be seen in a PG-13 movie, avoiding recommendations for content with nudity, sexual content, strong language, or risky stunts. - Accounts that repeatedly post 18+ content will be blocked, and profiles with inappropriate usernames, bios, or links will be age-gated. - Teens who already follow adult accounts will no longer be able to see or interact with their content. - Instagram will prevent teens from seeing search results for certain terms like "alcohol" or "gore". - Parents will have options to further restrict or allow more content for their teens. - The changes are being rolled out first in the US, UK, Australia, and Canada, with plans for a global rollout by the end of the year. - Meta also plans to add similar age-appropriate content protections for teens on Facebook.
