Then what was the point of your post?
Spot on rossinior.
What’s the point of you freaking out?
I think we both know the answer isn’t about pizza and spaghetti.
Live your own live, not everyone else’s around you.
Now you are avoiding the topic you raised and making character assassinations in an attempt to discredit them.
No, I’m just tired of you justifying your insecurities and prejudices to someone you don’t know.
I can only image how the people around you feel.
Please use this interaction to… You figure it out.
Yeah, you have NOTHING TO HIDE.
No, I just don’t think it is wise telling Plex they shouldn’t provide tools that empower users to makes choices freely for themselves and theie families regarding what media they watch. There is no moral issue in doing providing those tools.
You mentioned being concerned (insecure) about not being able to control whether someone has, what you believe are, prejudices. That is thought control and goes against the First Amendment in the US.
Someone choosing to make media choices they feel are best for their families is freedom to choose.
Like I said, please feel free to filter out Christian media or all media containing whites or heterosexuals.
Trying to instead control what choices these groups are allowed to make is a prejudice against them, and is what you are proposing.
You are against one’s privacy?
Again, you are attempting to attack a person’s character instead of debating the topic you raised.
See!? This is exactly why I am so concerned.
You either did not read my post, or you are so blinded by your bigotry - or some other fetish that your are distorting what I stated.
You will see no more responses from me. You are too far gone and diluted in my opinion to have a rational conversation with.
I wish you and you family luck in this world.

What bigotry? I’m only supporting free choice.
The entire reason I got into Plex was so my family had the choice to build the media collection they want to see instead of some corporation telling us what we should be watching.
Worrying that someone might make what you consider improper media choices using such tools is taking it a step into attempting to control other people’s lives.
I’m not telling you how to live your life. I’m asking you not to tell Plex to control other people’s lives, such as mine.
Again, if someone wishes to avoid white, male Christian media, by all means they can use the tools to do so.
Stop this now, or I will remove the whole discussion from this thread.
I agree with @Kilgry and @rossinior that there was no point in your initial post above, @jfreiman
Any metadata can be used to filter or block if the server owner chooses to do so. They are entitled to do so. It’s their right.
Nobody has any say about that, no matter what you or I may privately think about it.
It doesn’t matter who or what provides the metadata which are used to perform the filtering.
It doesn’t matter what is being filtered.
This is not about denying any group or single person anything.

This feature has been implemented for both, Plex‘s online media sources and personal media libraries.
You’ll need a current version of PMS (1.42.1 or newer) and the current-generation Plex Movie / Series agents to use it with personal libraries.
The CSM ratings are currently supported by the mobile new-experience apps.
Taken from the the doc… https://support.plex.tv/articles/common-sense-media/
I don’t have kids so I don’t really care about this. Can I hide the CSM rating?
The rating cannot be hidden
Honestly plex, you’ll never learn.

Hi @tom80H thank you for informing us.
Is this system replacing the -up-till-now-current age rating system which was multi-national and open for community additions (through third-party agents and by manually editing an age rating metadata field via Plex Web)?
As the article states, the new system is not available for most of my several hundreds of German TV movies.
Can the age rating taken from CSM.org be edited locally?
Is this available via API and how?
Thank you in advance for taking the time to answer this.

I really don’t understand why plex is now forced to have two certifications (traditional country and common sense) adding to yet more clutter in the UX.
This should be configurable. Plex also know this as its in the FAQ.
Luckily, this is only part of the new UX plex experience so I may never see it.

CSM will never replace the existing age ratings.
It represents the sensibilities of its mainly North american users, and has many titles missing.
As such, it is good supplemental information to parents, but is far from being able to supplant existing ratings systems, particularly in non-American regions.
And even more so with titles that are not American productions.

Great, and I don’t think I suggested it should but super we agree. It should never replace the existing country certifications/standards.
Sure, and for whoever wants its then great. Even do the plex thing and enable it by default but its not useful for me and I suspect I’ll not be the only one so give us the option to disable.

Here’s the rating summary for a random movie (K-Pop Demon Hunters), taken from the CSM web site:
Here’s the same thing in the Plex app:
Did you spot the issue? An honest mistake no doubt, though an awkward to make in this day and age…
