Decision#
V2/legal/platform-cert-bans.json is the source of truth for platform and
region feature bans. The default for monetized on-chain features is deny unless
legal explicitly allows the platform and region.
The table now uses schemaVersion: 2 and maps { platform, region, ageRating }
to bannedSurfaces[] plus explicitlyClearedSurfaces[] inside effective-date
windows. The owner is the V2 publisher legal team, and the review cadence is per
platform-cert-policy update plus at minimum quarterly.
Implementation Contract#
- Build gates fail when a prohibited feature is enabled for a platform/region.
- Entries must include owner, source,
effectiveFrom,effectiveUntil,bannedSurfaces[], and explicit clearances. - The table records effective-date windows for each row.
- Legal must review the file before every cert submission, every cert-policy update, and at minimum quarterly.
