Add/update channel age restrictions

You can restrict membership to your channel to people above the age of 18.

Adding restrictions is the responsibility of superadmins and will not be implemented by Rakuten Viber.

This means that channel content will not be reviewed by Rakuten Viber to determine if age restrictions are required. However, members will still be able to report a channel if they find the content inappropriate, which may result in the channel being permanently banned and deleted.

To avoid being banned, please refrain from posting offensive content, which may include:

• Nudity
• Sexually suggestive content
• Violence
• Disturbing imagery
• Portrayal of dangerous activities

For more information, please review Rakuten Viber's Acceptable Use Policy and Terms of Service.

Once an age restriction is enabled, all new members will be advised that your channel has 18+ content, and they will need to confirm that they are above the age of 18 to join. Existing members, as well as all admins and superadmins, will also need to confirm their age.
