LOL Meta's settlement with the AGs et al still uses content rules "inspired by movie ratings for ages 13+" even after the MPA told them to stop claiming to be "guided by" PG-13 ratings because it Meta "literally cannot" emulate MPA's human curation.

“Meta’s attempts to restrict teen content literally cannot be ‘guided by’ or ‘aligned with’ the MPA’s PG-13 movie rating because Meta does not follow this curated process,” the association’s letter says. “Instead, Meta’s content restrictions appear to rely heavily on artificial intelligence or other automated technology measures.”

“Age Appropriate Experiences” refers to content that is appropriate for Teen Users based
on input from experts, parents, and teens. For the purposes of this Agreement, Age
Appropriate Experiences shall mean content captured in Meta’s applicable Ages 13+
content setting, which is tied to policies inspired by movie ratings for ages 13+ and parent
feedback.

Here are the categories of lawful but harmful speech, many of which teens have a First Amendment right to see without government interference, that Meta will suppress in order to appease the government.

“Age Inappropriate Content” refers to content that is generally perceived by U.S. parents,
youth experts, and teens as not being appropriate for Teen Users. For the purposes of this
Agreement, Age Inappropriate Content shall mean content prohibited by Meta’s
Community Standards concerning bullying and harassment; nudity and sexual activity;
child sexual exploitation, abuse, and nudity; sexually explicit language; suicide, self-harm
and eating disorders; graphic violence and incitements to violence; gambling; and restricted
substances or goods (including illegal drug use), as well as policies specifically focused on
protections for Teen Users, including those regarding high-risk viral challenges and risky
stunts.
