    Hi Anonymous,

    Greetings from the Roku Community!

    We can certainly understand your concern that you want to manage parental controls on the Roku device.

    Please be aware that we currently do not have the feature for global parental control settings on Roku devices directly. But we have parental control for The Roku channel and the Roku PIN feature.

    For more information, visit our Support article on how to block content using Parental Control: Official Roku Support.

    We appreciate your suggestions for having more parental controls on your Roku device. We'll pass this along to the appropriate Roku team for review. Who knows, your suggestion may be implemented in a future update.

    You may also stop by the 'Suggest a feature' section of the Community to share any other thoughts.

    Thanks for your interest. We hope to expand with more features to provide our customers with the best streaming experience.

    All the best,

Thank you RokuJechealR for passing this suggestion along. A PIN to not allow kids to open up tv-MA is a good thing, but it’s even better that they don’t see certain content at all. This is certainly true of all those examples I posted. So yes, please pass along the suggestion to give us the ability to hide tv-MA material.

Best Regards,
