What are YouTube Content Ratings?
When a partner uploads a show or movie that does not have an official content rating (i.e. MPAA or TV rating), youtube ask that the content owner rate any mature content in these five categories: Language, Nudity, Sexual Situations, Violence and Drug Use.
Each of these categories has three levels that the uploader can select when uploading. To make it easier to understand these ratings youtube note the different levels with distinct colors.
