You can learn more about the importance of context here. For educational use of violent or graphic content, this context must appear in the images or audio of the video itself. For example, content showing victims’ injuries in a road accident may be removed, but we may age-restrict that same content if presented with news coverage that explains the situation and context. We may apply an age-restriction rather than remove violent or graphic content if that content provides enough context to understand it. Keep in mind that this policy also applies to videos, video descriptions, thumbnails, comments, live streams, and any other YouTube product or feature. Please note that this is not a complete list.
