This is totally insane! If children like to watch your youtube channel (perhaps it is Algebra tips or information about dinosaurs or black holes) you're required to obtain parental consent? The problem with designating the channel host as the person responsible is they are not the one collecting the information nor do they even have access to most of it. YouTube is the one collecting and using the info. No where on my YouTube channels am I allowed to see the ip address of anyone who views it. Nor can I track individuals. But YouTube themselves can and do do this. Also collecting legally binding consent from parents for their kids to watch channels is going to be way more of a breech of personally identifying information than not having that rule. For legally binding consent I'm going to have to verify their actual identity and that they are the legal guardian of the minor watching the channel. And from a practical standpoint I don't even see there is any way at all that doing so is even technically possible given the current YouTube design. The only way to comply with this is to kill all videos and channels that have any content that might be of interest to children. Die all you homework help and approachable science channels!
