Free, I feel like you lack the context for these videos and have completely misinterpreted them. Hess, for speaking out and leading the charge. So whenever I hear “safety is our number one priority” I automatically hear “profits are our number one priority.” Thank you, Dr. Or did they underestimate the sinister nature of their random users? How do you have that luxury when you are creating a children’s programming app? The only logical conclusion seems to be that Google/Alphabet/YouTube prioritize advertising profits over safety.
I just find it so hard to believe that intelligent people at Google/Alphabet/YouTube did not see this coming. They should have used more forethought to anticipate how sketchy people would take advantage of the platform’s content creation privileges and taint the entire experience. It reveals the inherent flaw in YTK and exposes their lack of safety design from the get-go. But it upends their business/profit model, and that’s the issue. If the platform can not regulate their offerings to ensure safety because of the enormity of the content they have to screen, then it’s obvious they need to be more choosy about the content they make available and pare it down. Why should EVERYBODY have a place at the table when it comes to creating content on such a prominent platform? If YouTube Kids could be limited to known and trusted brands and shows that actually care about children (PBS Kids, Discovery Channel etc.), this would NOT BE AN ISSUE. (television channels have media placement fees and standards - you want a show, you must pay for a spot, unless that spot is actually sponsored by the network.

Should free channels of user-generated content even be allowed in children’s programming? If YouTube Kids required media placement fees, they would weed out a lot of these psychos who are uploading whatever the heck they want. There is an incredible need to re-evaluate how this type of media is regulated. Use the arrows to scroll through the screenshots: There has to be a better way to assure this type of content is not being seen by our children. Unlike YouTube itself, YouTube Kids is supposed to be specifically FOR kids. This is supposed to be a safe place for our children. There are also some screenshots of the descriptive explanation of the girl attempting to hang herself. The following screenshots are of a Mario Brother cartoon where Mario goes into an all girls school and has lots of inappropriate comments and actions. I settled for screenshots of some other to give you all more of an idea of how significant this problem is. There were just so many that I had to stop recording. It speaks about standing on a chair and having a noose around her neck. In this zombie cartoon friends kill each other out of jealousy.Īnd finally, this cartoon has descriptive writing about a girl who is stopped from hanging herself. In this next cartoon a young girl commits suicide with a knife after her father dies and her boyfriend breaks up with her. There is lots of shooting, violence, and threats to kill in this one. This on is a cartoon with a background song whose lyrics states “Oh she’s hot but she’s a psycho”. An injured and abused female character disguised as a pet wolf is bought for $400 from a masked man with a simple phone call. This next one is a cartoon suggesting human trafficking.
This is another Minecraft video with a shooting scene and swearing. Here is a Minecraft video with multiple shooting scenes (one in a school) and swearing. All of the following videos and screenshots are from YouTube Kids specifically and all were found by me just today. All of these videos were found on YouTube Kids, a platform that advertises itself to be a safe place for children 8 years old and under.īelow are just a few of the videos that I’ve found. My research has led me into a horrifying world where people create cartoons glorifying dangerous topics and scenarios such self-harm, suicide, sexual exploitation, trafficking, domestic violence, sexual abuse, and gun violence which includes a simulated school shooting. I wish I could say that they are isolated incidents but unfortunately I cannot. One of those videos, the cartoon with the suicide clip, was brought to light right here on. In the last several days there has been a lot of talk about videos on YouTube and YouTube Kids that are inappropriate for our children.
