Pretty much. Really, it means the user base of the site; it's up to the site operators to determine what that is. > From Section 2: > > "Origin servers that utilize the "safe" preference SHOULD document > that they do so, along with the criteria that they use to denote > objectionable content." > > From https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/174084?hl=en > > "While it's not 100 percent accurate, we use community flagging, > age-restrictions, and other signals to identify and filter out > inappropriate content." > > The criteria mentioned above might have to be clarified.
