Yes, but where's the real, proper evidence that shows that watching age restricted youtube videos is detrimental to children? I think unsupervised access to age restricted parts of youtube may well be detrimental too.
I feel like most of these changes are there only because troubled parents feel like they're powerless to control their children.
- andrepd 5y agoOh absolutely. Here's an hypothesis: turbo-consumerist videos targeted at children are far more harmful that much of the "age restricted" content of nudity and profanity. I just mean we should be careful and work in an evidence-based way rather than a moral panic-based way or a "I turned out fine"-based way (this latter, a common defense worldwide of child beating for instance)
- eptcyka 5y agoI do agree that anecdotes shouldn't inform policy.
