There's a ton of abuse on YouTube.
The content is generally made for an older public, that's how YouTube started and that's what the content is for
The problem isn't YouTube per se, it's our understanding of it, and as a result, the laws we bring forth to try and manage it.
It's like sending your kids down to buy something from a corner shop or when you send them to school on their own. It's we the adults that make sure they know better than to talk to strangers.
I think thoigh the street metaphor isn't too accurate, since a normal corner stop wont have hookers and dirty magazine pedlers trying to get your kid off for a buck. The Internet does though, and it'll be an interesting problem to solve, without destroying the mechanisms that allow innovation.
I think most people here anyone are aware of this, wbut do we really know how deep the rabbit hole goes?

Limiting the discussion to YouTube, Google needs to acknowledge how many children spend time browsing videos on their site and make a YouTube Kids with only approved providers and strict moderation.
