Hazel Scott playing two pianos at the same damn time with ease

[erinbowbooks]

Hazel Scott was a musical sorcerer and a civil rights hero.   She:

 was admitted to Julliard at 8.  

was performing in top venues by 16.  

pioneered “swinging the classics” and made the equivalent of a million dollars a year doing it.  

was the first person of color to have their own national TV show.  

went to Hollywood but refused to be cast as a “singing maid.”  Demanded and got control over her casting, her wardrobe, and how footage featuring her was cut.  

refused to perform in segregated venues and led charges for integration in several northern cities, notably Spokane.  

She was brought down by the House Committee on Unamerican Activities, and has been largely forgotten.  But she was a sorcerer, and a hero.

Rutger Bregman is the Dutch historian who became a global sensation after an appearance at this year’s Davos summit, where he accused attending billionaires of ignoring taxation. Now he has created another viral moment in an extremely uncomfortable interview with Fox News’s Tucker Carlson.

Bregman so riled Carson with his accusations of hypocrisy, critiques of Fox’s conservative agenda, and attacks on Donald Trump that the TV host called him a “moron” and angrily told him: “Go fuck yourself.”

WHY THE FUCK ARE THERE NO POSTS ON THE WHOLE COPPA AND YOUTUBE SITUATION

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JzXiSkoFKw

Watch this video to understand what’s whappening, but as a general TLDR, if The Children’s online privacy protection act is inforced on Youtube, youtube content as we know it will change forever.

If you don’t have time to watch the video let me summarize it (and other videos on the topic) for you

One of the things COPPA prohibits is the use of personalized ads (Ads based on your location, age, sex, gender, interests, basically all the data that is collected through use of the internet) for children under the age of 13. For this, Youtube was fined and now they’re making changes to the way the platform works. 

One of these changes is making creators mark their content as “Meant for kids” or not. However there are a wide range of items that, on youtube’s eyes, classifies as children media. 

So basically if your video contains something that falls under any of these categories, even if its just one, and a minor thing, youtube can flag it as kids video and apply the new restrictions to this video or even your channel as a whole. And if youtube’s automated system finds any of these things in a video NOT catered for children, it can penalize you both by applying these restrictions anyways, striking you, or fining you for breaking the law

This is a snippet of a complaint made to be submitted to COPPAS’ feedback page, since they saw how problematic this act and laws can be. The whole complaint was written by a mexican youtube channel called Alfrely, and it reads:

YouTube viewers and creators petition the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to clarify and reconsider the new Children’s Online Privacy Protection (COPPA Rule) regulations on YouTube creators. Shutting off personalized ads on creators’ content will cause more harm than good, especially for children. Quality family-friendly content will shrink, while more mature content will grow — yet kids will still be watching.   The FTC should not expand COPPA regulations for content creators. Broadening the definition of “child-directed” to include “child-attractive” would force many more creators to turn off personalized ads. As a result, even more quality content will dry up, and more mature and extreme content will fill the platform. The free YouTube Kids app is a better solution than regulation targeting family-friendly creators. YouTube Kids removes privacy concerns around personalized ads. Parents buy devices and allow their children to watch YouTube Main. Many parents prefer to use YouTube Main because it has more features and less barriers. Creators should not be punished when parents choose not to use YouTube Kids. COPPA is about putting parents in control of protecting their children’s personal information online. The FTC should not use COPPA to remove parents from the process in regulating content and online advertising. While large corporations will survive these changes, small business creators face terminating employees, changing their business model, or shutting down production altogether. These regulations will particularly hurt young underserved audiences who participate in YouTube communities on topics like special needs, faith, and minority groups. Limiting quality free content for kids expands the digital divide. Turning off personalized ads on kids’ content also encourages increased product placement and brand deals within kids’ content. Creators face COPPA fines up to $42,530 per video, yet the regulation and definition of “child-directed” is vague. The FTC needs to provide creators with enforcement clarity.  We ask the FTC to: 1. Provide an enforcement statement for creators 2. Clarify the definition of “child-directed,” and not expand it to cover “child-attractive” content  3. Delay enforcement against creators until the FTC concludes its review of COPPA 4. Allow parents to use YouTube Kids or YouTube Main, without forcing creators to turn off personalized ads when parents choose to use YouTube Main 

Now onto another point:

The woman from the video replies

“We will start limiting the data we collect from ‘Made for kids content’ to comply with the law.”

The changes that will be applied to these videos are:

Comments

Personalized ads

Info cards

End screens

Stories

Community tab

Notification bell

Ability to “Save to watch later” or add to playlists, just to name the ones listed.

You basically get stripped of everything that makes youtube, youtube.

This change basically encourages content creators that live off the platform to create content that DOESN’T cater to children, creating more mature content that is already frowned upon on youtube and by advertisers, and will inevitaly make kids continue to consume media that is not for them

Not to mention that things like cartoons and videogames will be among the things that people won’t talk about.

Big corporations will always find a way to make this work, and the people who depend on youtube for a living may also find a way to make this work, but at the end of the day, it will ruin the careers and possibly the lives of many many creators, maybe even creators that you enjoy.

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT THIS. THE MORE PEOPLE SUBMITTING FEEDBACK TO THE FTC, THE MORE CHANCES TO SAVE THIS WE HAVE. DON’T SLEEP ON THIS.

I’m not good at making any posts like these so I may be forgetting things or saying something wrong so please reblog and correct me or add to what I’m saying. Spread the word.

And if their algorithm decides your video is Made For Kids there will be zero appeal. None.

Their algorithm can decide to take away your comments section permanently with no recourse to a human. Because machine learning is now perfect and makes zero mistakes, ever. </sarc>

And their recommendation if unsure is to consult a lawyer, because everyone can afford one of those.

And you have to go through every video you have ever posted to determine if it meets these vague guidelines. If the FTC decides you to fine you, the minimum is $42,000 per video.

So, what can you do?

https://www.regulations.gov/comment?D=FTC-2019-0054-0001

Go here. Go here right now and tell the FTC that this will only result in less kid-friendly programming available on YouTube. Spam the heck out of them with comments. I’ll do it myself later because I have a book to edit.

[ihearducksaregoingquackers]

oh my god i’m absolutely terrified right now, i’ve used youtube to post memes i’ve made, small videos where i’ve talked before, my animation portfolio, there’s things i’ve put up on my channel and now i have to consider deleting all of it to not get fined on the slightest off chance my stuff gets marked as for children anyhow just holy shit oh my god this is NOT what i wanted to deal with at all, i can’t deal with a 42k fine, i can barely hold my mental health together as is. I’ve unlisted all my videos and deleted all my meme videos just in case, there’s still some content left but i might just delete that content too, i can’t deal with this.

this shit could absolutely ruin the lives of people who just use youtube to shitpost, for video archiving or even use it for animation reels on the offchance their stuff gets flagged as kid content by a bot (if i was even a halfway decent cartoonist i’d be shitting myself because IMAGINE the similarities to kids cartoons that bots might decide resemble kids stuff).

[jenniferrpovey]

Okay. Breathe.

First of all, you will not be fined if your content is flagged by the bot. That content will, though, be kinda nerfed.

The algorithm is supposed to protect people from being fined. It’s a lousy way to do it because no AI is ready to run without human supervision. But no, a bot won’t fine you.

I agree this is bad, but you are not in imminent danger of being fined into bankruptcy. So don’t delete your stuff, especially not your portfolio. If you have anything that would obviously appeal to a five year old, flag it yourself. That’s your best protection and unlike the bot flagging you can be undone later.

Also, this probably won’t actually stand up in the long run. The standard of “child attracting” is vague enough to get First Amendment challenges (Yes, the FA doesn’t apply to YouTube per se, but it does apply to the FTC, and they’re the ones setting stupidly vague standards).

Relax. Post a comment on the FTC’s site, a calm one. If you can work it in, explain that having to work out which of your videos this applies to is an “undue burden.” That’s lawyer-speak for “Something you can’t be reasonably expected to do.”

The more bitching, the more chance there is that they’ll realize the effect this is having and think things through a bit more. They have to pay attention to public comments.
