YouTube on the warpath to make YouTube Kids a safe place

Google

It is clear that YouTube has bet on the family friendly in terms of content, at least rewarding content that is supposedly ready to be visited by anyone. The best corner for this is precisely YouTube Kids, the version of the platform designed to entertain our children, future YouTubers of course, however, it is encountering serious problems.

What is the reason for this disturbance? Well, precisely that between the bad idea of ​​the users who upload videos and the errors in the YouTube algorithm, children who use YouTube Kids can find unpleasant images such as Pepa Pig assaulting a rabbit with an armed hand. This is how YouTube has decided to stand up to the disturbing content within YouTube Kids, making the platform a safe place.

From now on YouTube will use three filters to determine whether or not a video can be included on the YouTube Kids platform. Despite the fact that thousands of people watch YouTube content around the world, the poor cannot see everything that users upload to the internet, it is clear. YouTube is also adjusting who can view these videos on the main platform, flagged content as well will be restricted on YouTube if the registered user is considered to be under the age of 18.

Anyway, it is clear that nothing like Parental Control to avoid these types of unpleasant situations, or why not say it, perhaps letting children play with versions of LEGO adapted to their ages is more instructive than spending idle hours in front of the tablet screen. Meanwhile Google continues to work on making YouTube Kids a better place for the little ones in the house, and better to work hard, because the system is still pretty green.
