I’m replying to my own comment, because the responses to this all fall along the same line. I’d argue that YouTube should NOT contain this material. It shouldn’t be outright banned, but there should be sites where you can let your kids watch educational videos and not worry about a beheading autoplaying. YouTube is so popular that I’d argue they fall into that category. I see the argument (kids should see this! They have to grow up sometime!), and yes - they need to know evil exists in the world and that bad things happen. But allowing it to just pop up on YouTube without any outside context or guidance (e.g. -this is NOT normal, and it should be disturbing) along with processing death should be provided. Otherwise you could seriously screw kids up. So no - I don’t want the Wild West to exist on the entire internet.
