| Parent and kid friendly YouTube | Snodart | 12/07/01 14:25 | Just a thought that seems to be a logical and responsable step for Google/YouTube. Allow viewers to rate videos (and advertisement, comments, etc) into categories similar to the MPAA rating system (or the like). Also implement a filter based on these |
| Re: Parent and kid friendly YouTube | The Lady From Uncle | 12/07/01 14:31 | YouTube is for 13 and over only. |
| Re: Parent and kid friendly YouTube | Snodart | 12/07/01 16:17 | One must be 13 to have a youtube account, but clearly there are youtube channels, movies, and content created and posted with an intended audience that is under 13. Even if youtube was truly intended for only those viewers that are 13 and over, there |
| Re: Parent and kid friendly YouTube | JDoors | 12/07/01 17:05 | There are plenty of kid-friendly sites. YouTube ain't one of them. There are kid-oriented videos uploaded to YouTube because users can upload anything at all. There are also triple X videos uploaded to YouTube because users can upload anything at all |
| Re: Parent and kid friendly YouTube | Snodart | 12/07/01 19:57 | A 13+ year old can create an account, upload and view videos; but youtube is not intended to be kid friendly? That sounds about right. From one of the links provided above: "Children under 13 years are not permitted to access YouTube". Um, yes they a |
| Re: Parent and kid friendly YouTube | chottom | 12/07/01 23:00 | My kids (3 and 6 years old) also spend more time watching YouTube than TV so some safe search filter will be highly apreciated. |
| Re: Parent and kid friendly YouTube | anmoose | 12/07/02 0:00 | Um, no they are not, per the statement you just quoted. If parents, who are legally and fully responsible for their children's actions allow them to violate YouTube's ToS, they bear the responsibility, not YouTube. YOU have control over the power plu |
| Re: Parent and kid friendly YouTube | Snodart | 12/07/02 2:21 | anmoose, It would seem that a good portion of society feels the same way that you do. You are really sort of making my point. Profit and the wants and "needs" of adult viewers come first. What might be best for kids, the ones with no true voice, is t |
| Re: Parent and kid friendly YouTube | The Lady From Uncle | 12/07/02 3:01 | So back to square one- YouTube is for 13 and over. Simple really. |

| Re: Parent and kid friendly YouTube | GgleSD | 12/07/02 13:06 | There nothing to stop a 8 year old from opening an account on YouTube. YouTube does not ask for proof of age and if they did they would have 2 million less viewers in the world. So you can see why they would look the other way. $$$ |
| Re: Parent and kid friendly YouTube | TheRealKitsune | 12/07/02 13:40 | Except simply what anmoose said. Parenting. |
| Re: Parent and kid friendly YouTube | TrollExterminator | 12/07/02 13:47 | 2 million is a conservative number to say the least. There's nothing wrong with installing an option for people to rate the videos and comments. Many of the comments seen on YouTube is not even appropriate for a 13 year old. |
| Re: Parent and kid friendly YouTube | JimProfitCommunist | 12/07/02 14:39 | I only would support this if this was coupled with the eradication of manual regulations of content. If you so desire a rating system to distinguish "mature" videos between "children friendly/work safe" videos, then you need to think about the conseq |
