DeclineIntoCensorship

There is a problem with the Internet as it stands. Social media is a big part of that. Not holding people and corporations responsible for their actions is a big part of that. For companies we allow them to post content from 'users' but don't hold them responsible for the content. This is despite the fact that they purposely magnify the engaging, controversial and emotive content.

Keeping kids safe means ensuring they only see content that is approved. It's a very fixable problem. It just costs time and money to fix. Parents could have to approve what is suggested to their kids.

Some content could be moderated, responsibly, like on tv. Especially any content that is monetised. On fact, any monetised content should be subject to the same rules as tv or similar, for both the platform and the publisher. That would fix a lot.

I have kids. They use YouTube kids. I worry that it will show them inappropriate content. As a parent it is difficult to control their playlist as it offers different suggestions after each. So unless you watch with them or check every 5 minutes, it's not doable. Doubly so with more than one kid on a seperate device.
