Instagram expands its movie inspired content restrictions for teens internationally

What Happened

Instagram is expanding content restrictions for teen accounts globally, applying movie rating-based guidelines previously introduced in four countries. The restrictions limit exposure to extreme violence, sexual content, and graphic drug use. A new "Limited Content" setting offers stricter filters. Meta faced legal action in New Mexico and Los Angeles regarding teen safety. The Motion Picture Association previously objected to Meta calling these "PG-13-inspired" limits.
