Poll: Should YouTube give all music videos age ratings?

This is being implemented for all music videos produced in the United Kingdom.

BRITISH MUSIC VIDEOS that appear on YouTube and Vevo are to be given cinema-style age ratings, the Guardian reports.

The move comes after a study showed more than half of teenagers watch videos online they know their parents don’t approve of.

YouTube already displays warnings when a user is about to view an age-restricted video, sometimes prompting them to sign in. However, some argue that most current methods of online age-restriction are ineffective and easy to bypass.

We want to know what you think: Should YouTube give all music videos age ratings?
