The new technologies and Social Networks are implemented globally being extended to any area and age. More and more young people enter the mobile world by accessing different platforms to consume audiovisual content. The world of YouTube is a clear example of how children consume content almost daily due to the dedicated material on this platform..
YouTube is the most popular platform to access hundreds of available content of all kinds of topics, but there is a critical point of security (something worldwide) and it is the issue of age restriction which applies based on the content of the video itself, which is a violation of YouTube’s established policies, these restriction policies apply in three scenarios that are:
Restriction Policies
- A user who did not access your account
- Restricted Mode is enabled
Usual restrictions
The age restriction on YouTube takes effect when the video contains information such as:
- Harmful or dangerous activities
- Disturbing images and violence
- Content with spam, deceptive metadata and traps
- Nude images or provocative content
TechnoWikis will explain how to remove the age restriction on YouTube being aware of the use we will give the content to access.
