Google+ Updated With Age And Location Post Restrictions

age_restriction_google_plus-630x263We should always be careful of what we share online. After all you never know who might see your post. Well the good news for those who are active on social media but want to share responsibly, Google has recently updated their Google+ social network and will now be able to let users choose the location and age of the people that can see their posts.

Now given that you have to enter your age and location when you sign up for Google+, the new feature will you choose the demographic you want to appeal to. For example if you want to share an article or a video that might be questionable, you can choose to allow those aged 18 or over, or 21 or over, to view it.

As you can see in the screenshot above, it can also allow you to select a filter to say that the content could be alcohol-related, thus not allowing those below a certain age to view the content that you are sharing. Alternatively you can also choose to share topics and filter it by location, so you can share more articles with the right groups of people without seeming too spammy.

The new feature has already been put into place, so for Google+ users, all you’d have to do is to go to your profile settings, go to “Audience” and adjust it from there! What do you guys think of this feature? Handy?
