Sixty years was the most commonly used age limit. The age limit for men is 44 years. Courts found that age limits did not violate equality principles.

Age-Restricted Content
What is content age restriction?
Age-restricted videos are not viewable by users under 18 or not signed in. They also cannot be viewed on many third-party websites. Content may be age-restricted if it doesn’t violate Community Guidelines but is still inappropriate for viewers under 18, including themes of child safety, harmful activities, sexual content, violence, and vulgar language. Viewers can only watch such content on YouTube if they are over 18 and signed in. Monetization of age-restricted videos is possible. If incorrectly age-restricted, an appeal is available.
