That is a position.
This document is showing the hole in that position -- an outright attack (elsagate) aimed at children. A cursory inspection by the parent sees the child watching a harmless Peppa the Pig video, while in fact she's watching snuff.
This is a problem that Google has to address somehow (because that is what is demanded of them), while not censoring things aimed to adults. That's why the conclusion is a call for consistency and openness.
- AnthonyMouse 8y agoThat isn't a hole, it's an iterative process. Parents didn't know there was snuff on YouTube Kids. As soon as they find out, their kids are not allowed to use it anymore and with declining viewership, whatever garbage feedback loop allowed that to happen is destroyed.

- berbec 8y agoGoogle had no problem supporting a product useless for its stated purpose for years until finally shutting it down entirely after a data breach.
- bad_user 8y agoYou're not a parent. As a parent, I don't have time for this shit, so I did not ban such movies. I banned YouTube, all of it. People put their trust way too much in free market competition. You know, if consumers were actually conscious of their choices and free market competition actually worked for pruning the weeds, we wouldn't have diabetes or obesity or pollution or global warming.
