Instagram will continue to use the movie industry’s PG-13 rating in referring to its parent-controlled Teen Accounts — but it’s going to “substantially reduce” references to the mark, and when it does will add a disclaimer explaining that “There are lots of differences between social media and movies.”

The Motion Picture Association announced Tuesday it reached a resolution with Instagram’s parent company, Meta, over the MPA’s objection of the internet giant’s use of the trademarked PG-13 film rating in connection with marketing Instagram Teen Accounts.
