Can no longer place a newspaper or anything else in our seat back pocket?????

I was on American Eagle # 4732 from RDU to LGA this afternoon. As the FA was making her standard boarding PAs I thought I heard something about “can not be storeed in the seat back pocket in front of you”. Of course I have been on 1000’s of flights, so my fault for not paying total attention. However as the FA was making her rounds to check for seat belts, etc, she walked up to me and said” you can not store those materials there”, referring to my newspaper. I was shocked and asked” are you telling me I can not have a newspaper in my seat back pocket?” She said “yes, that is what I said” I asked “is this a new policy?” and she responded “it was created in August, but we are just now starting to enforce it”. Note this was 14A, not an exit row.

As anyone heard of this, or is the FA just making things up”
