In an attempt to clean up its content, YouTube has announced that it is cracking down on "sexually suggestive" videos.
On its blog, the popular video-sharing website, said it would be enforcing a "stricter standard for mature content" and "tightening the standard for what is considered 'sexually suggestive.'"
Sexual Deviance - Legal Issues

YouTube, the Google-owned website, has already banned users to post pornographic content on the website.
"Videos with sexually suggestive (but not prohibited) content will be age-restricted, which means they'll be available only to viewers who are 18 or older," News.com.au quoted YouTube as saying.
