Instagram Tightens Teen Protections: A Closer Look at the New PG-13 Content Filters
Instagram has introduced stricter content controls for users aged 13–17, implementing PG-13 filters to limit exposure to mature material such as strong language, drug references, and risky behavior. The platform uses automated scanning and age verification to enforce these rules, while offering parental controls for added oversight. This update aligns with California’s new law requiring social media platforms to display mental health warnings to minors, aiming to create a safer, more responsible digital environment for teens.
