Netflix SA adds FPB's local age restrictions and content advisories

A Netflix spokesperson said:"Our work with the Film and Publications Board is part of our wider efforts to give our members more control and choice."

FPB age restrictions and parental advisories now form part of Netflix SA content in the form of FPB triangle symbols denoting an age restriction in numbers, as well as content labels in the form of"S" for sex,"V" for violence","N" for nudity","L" for language" and several more. When Netflix launched across Africa in January 2016, the global subscription video-on-demand service initially did so on the continent without adhering to individual countries' content classification systems like what exists in South Africa.

In October 2017, Netflix EMEA told Channel24 that Netflix won't submit to local classification of its content which it does itself and that it"doesn't have to pay those fees".
