Oct 14 (Reuters) - Meta said on Tuesday that

teenager accounts on Instagram will be guided by PG-13 movie

ratings by default, as the social media company faces intense

scrutiny for not doing enough to protect users under 18.

A Reuters report in August revealed how Meta allowed

provocative chatbot behavior, including letting bots engage in

"conversations that are romantic or sensual."

Meta faced backlash after the report, with the company

saying it would add new teenager safeguards to its AI products

by training systems to avoid flirty conversations and

discussions of self-harm or suicide.

The company said it will use age prediction technology to

place teens into certain content protections - even if they

claim to be adults.
