Flagged accounts face break reminders, ad limits, and restricted recommendations.

Minor Account Restrictions

Adults flagged as minors can verify with ID, credit card, or selfie to restore full access.

Fixing Wrong Classifications

Watching without login is still allowed, but age-restricted videos require proof of age.

Non-Logged-In Users
