Age restricted content

If the content includes any of the above but provides enough context to understand it, we may apply an age restriction rather than remove it. For example, content depicting victims' injuries in a major road accident may be removed, but if presented with news coverage that explains the situation and context, that same content may be age-restricted. When educational content contains violence, this context must be visible in the post. More on the significance of context can be found here.

We may also impose an age restriction on fictional violence if it contains graphic scenes, such as people being dismembered or decapitated, or depicts human corpses with these severe injuries. In general, we allow dramatised violence when the content or metadata indicates that the content is fictional, or when the content itself, such as animated content or video games, makes it clear.

When deciding whether to age-restrict or remove content, we consider the following factors. Please keep in mind that this is not an exhaustive list.

• Whether the post's focus is on violent or gory imagery, such as focusing solely on the most graphically violent scene in a film or video game.
• Whether the title, description, tags, or other information imply a desire to shock or disgust viewers.
• Whether or not there has been any blurring, masking, or obscuring of violent imagery or audio - The length of time violent images or audio are present in the content.
• If there is context indicating that the imagery is fictitious or dramatised, such as a statement in the title, or description
• If the violence is part of a religious or cultural tradition, and the viewer is informed about it.

Videos depicting dangerous acts may be permitted if they are educational, documentary, scientific, or artistic in nature (EDSA). A news storey about the dangers of choking games, for example, would be appropriate, but posting clips from the same documentary out of context might not be.
