YouTube Bans Kids From Live-Streaming Video Unless Accompanied by an Adult

YouTube is taking additional steps to restrict the possibility that children will be targeted by predators on the video platform -- including banning young kids from live-streaming with adult supervision. From a report: The Google-owned video platform, in a blog post Monday, also said it is limiting recommendations of videos that depict 'minors in risky situations.' The updated policies come after YouTube in February announced that it would disable the ability to leave comments on nearly all videos featuring kids. The announcement also comes in the wake of a New York Times report Monday, citing research that YouTube's recommendation system has been suggesting videos of 'prepubescent, partially clothed children' to users who had watched sexually themed content. According to YouTube, it has applied new restrictions to the algorithm-based recommendations system curbing recommendations of videos with minors to 'tens of millions of videos.' However, it will continue recommending many videos with children because an all-out ban would hurt creators who rely on the recommendation engine to generate views, according to YouTube.
