We have seen this erupt in the news recently, with several parents organizations standing against series like Daredevil- and the more mature Netflix collaborated Marvel properties- making their way to a Disney+ platform that has been known for its family-friendly content.
These Netflix series, however, aren’t the only culprit for an increase in more mature content, as the impending Moon Knight series- which just saw its fantastically well-received series premiere– is shaping up to be the most brutal project yet for Marvel Studios; and subsequently Disney+.

It appears as though some of the concerns raised by certain parties have led to action, as (Via CBR.com) Disney+ reportedly censors some more violent scenes from Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
Falcon and the Winter Soldier was the brilliantly executed MCU Disney+ series that explored the character of Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes, as the former grew to embrace his inherited role as Captain America amidst a system that was against his appointment.

The series wasn’t overly violent, or mature, in any way, but recent changes to the series have pointed to Disney+ taking a stand against the amount of blood and violence that is seen by viewers.
The scene in question shows Bucky Barnes throwing a metal pole at an assailant, with the original version showing the pole stabbing her shoulder; the censored version seeing the pole bounce off.

The only real alteration comes in the amount of blood that is visible to the audience, which may have been a conscious effort from Marvel to limit the amount of MCU content that will be hidden due to parental restrictions.
