The patent filed by Meta Platforms Inc. describes a method for generating user accounts on a social networking system based on sensitive content classifications and user age. The method involves determining a threshold user tolerance level for sensitive content, receiving user data including age, generating the user account, and configuring account settings to restrict sensitive content if the user's age does not meet the threshold.
