!BOYCOTT YOUTUBE ON THE 13th OF AUGUST!!
!!ATTENTION YOUTUBE USERS!!
Youtube is going to try to implement AI into their platform to find people's ages based on their viewing habits!
What does this mean for you?
There is a very high margin for error using AI, so you may be incorrectly accused of being under 18 where you WILL HAVE TO PROVIDE A GOVERNMENT ID. This should not happen as it is under the GUISE of protecting children, BUT THE CHILDREN WHO WATCH CHILDISH THINGS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO PRESENT AN ID TO CONTINUE WATCHING WHAT THEY LIKE, ANS IF CHILDREN ARE WATCHING 18 AND OVER CONTENT, THEY WILL BE MARKED AS FINE.
THIS WILL NOT PROTECT CHILDREN.
They are testing this out, so please don't go on YouTube on the 13th, we can make the platform safe, because they will see that the numbers are down, and that people don't want this!!
Also, if you are a parent and don't want your child exposed to adult content, monitor what they are watching and if you allow them on YouTube, make it YouTube Kids.
ALSO!! Boycotting for more than one day will make more of an impact and would be helpful, but it's understandable if you need to use it (e.g. for schoolwork). I would recommend using it as sparingly as you can, because that would decrease their total revenue and would make a difference still!
Thank you for reading!
