MPA Demands Meta Drop PG-13 Label from Instagram Teen Content
TL;DR
The Motion Picture Association (MPA) sent a cease-and-desist letter to Meta, criticizing its use of the PG-13 rating to describe Instagram's new teen account settings, claiming it is false, misleading, and infringes on the MPA's trademark. Meta responded that it never claimed the accounts were officially PG-13 rated, but simply aligned its content moderation with PG-13 standards. The dispute highlights concerns over the accuracy and implications of Meta's content labeling for teens.
