YouTube will restrict access to the videos showing the children’s characters in situations involving violence or sex scenes, if the audience complain about it.
The decision was made after last week in the blog of writer James Bridle the material came, telling that YouTube still puts obscene videos intended for children.
Manufacturers often video is used to image the violent and sexual scenes famous children’s cartoon characters such as Peppa Pig, which further attracts the young users. But that’s not the only problem. Even if the videos do not exist situation of a violent or sexual nature, it can be considered unacceptable speech and behavior of characters that make the video sinister, brutal and scary. Viewing these movies can cause a serious blow to a child’s psyche.
The worst thing is that video from popular kids characters like spider-Man or Elsa from «frozen» — gaining millions of views. Their owners earn on the children’s fears and psychological trauma for tens of thousands of dollars, because in these commercials usually advertise.
Representatives of YouTube stated that the video limit, prohibiting their owners to earn revenue from advertising. The team of moderators of the site include the parents, «which seek to improve the apps and to do the right thing».
However, critics continue to condemn the site for not taking sufficiently effective measures. The deprivation of the owners of the video earnings, they believe, does not solve the problem fundamentally, because the video remains on the site. In addition, the video, which is not complained none of the audience falls into the prohibited list. Complaints from viewers are still coming.
The claim that soon caught in a «positive list» video will be able to view only users over the age of 18 who visits the site via your account with an indication of age. These videos will not be displayed in the app, YouTube Kids.
