Consider a young child, maybe 5 or 6, who loves animals very much. Now consider that this child is living in the year 1991 and watching a documentary about Zebras on the National Geographic channel. Now consider that during the course of this show, a Zebra has an unfortunate encounter with a lioness or 5, which the kid never expected and is likely very upset by what they see. Should there now be a nationwide discussion/outrage about how National Geographic portrays nature? Or should parents rethink their parenting habits by actively monitoring what their kids watch on TV, in 1991? Same goes for the Youtube and the Internet in general, why would you let your kid have free reign on either platform knowing the potential for bad content? Maybe if a parent could pre-watch the videos on Youtube before letting their kids watch it to insure its legit, then kids wouldn't be tricked by the fake stuff.
