Description Nate Graham 2023-10-19 21:16:06 UTC

To me these labels suggest stuff like violence and adult situations. But we use them just to indicate the highest level of rated content. The results are often nonsensical. For example "checking for the latest app version" makes the app say "Mild content", while offering text, audio, or video chat is "Intense content". I don't think they're very accurate or useful. Maybe we can just remove them.

ApplicationPage: Simplify content rating display

Currently we display an age rating along with a textual description such
as "Mild content" or "Intense content". The textual description has been
problematic due to difficulties translating it, and also mismatches
between what the text suggests and what triggered it. For example
"Uncontrolled chat functionality between users" kicks it into "Intense
content", but the word "intense" conjures up ideas of violence,
sexuality, etc.

Let's drop the text and let the age rating speak for itself.
