"The Motion Picture Association objected to Meta directly referencing its movie content rating, which cautions parents against letting their pre-teens engage with certain media. The MPA said that Meta claiming its teen accounts were comparable to PG-13 ratings was 'literally false and highly misleading.'"
"Meta has now updated that initial blog about the changes after coming to an agreement with the MPA, adding a lengthy disclaimer that reads, in part, 'there are lots of differences between social media and movies.'"
"Meta explained that it drew 'inspiration' from the MPA guidance given its familiarity with parents, as well as feedback it had received from parents, and will continue to do so."
Meta has agreed to significantly limit its reference to the PG-13 ratings system for Teen Accounts on Instagram starting April 15. The Motion Picture Association previously objected to Meta's claims that its teen accounts were comparable to PG-13 ratings, stating it was misleading. The MPA expressed concerns about the potential negative impact on its public image. Meta acknowledged the differences between social media and movies and updated its blog to clarify that it did not collaborate with the MPA on content settings.
