mature gating

Mature gating is a process that involves restricting access to content or experiences based on certain criteria such as age or gender. For example, content with mature themes such as language, sexual references, or extreme violence may be gated off from certain audiences. This practice allows companies to better protect their viewers, limit the exposure of sensitive content and create a more welcoming environment. Mature gating also helps to ensure compliance with relevant laws and standards such as those set out by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board. Ultimately, mature gating helps to set clear and appropriate boundaries that protect both viewers and companies alike.
