Google+ now allows age and location-based content restrictions

Yonatan Zunger, Chief Architect for Google+, has just announced via Google+ that today a pretty substantial new feature is being added to Google+. This new feature, already being dubbed the “PG-13″ feature, allows Google+ users to now restrict their content based on age and location. Lets dive a little more into this new “PG-13″ feature of Google+. Let’s start off with an example, lets say you frequently share your articles you write on your blog to Google+ but they tend to have a few cuss words here and there, obviously you don’t want your younger audience to see these posts. So now, with this new feature, you would opt for your content to only be visible to your followers who are over the age of 18. You could also restrict content in the same way except based on certain countries. This is very useful to certain people, especially those who have legal or regulatory restrictions.
