I agree. I've gone to the mall, and other stores, and I've seen kids just running around while their parent stare at their phone, etc. My mother would have killed my if I'd had run around and screamed in the middle of a public area like most kids do.
I'm glad I learned that RUclips wasn't meant for me. Tried posting a few videos on my gaming account and learned that this wasn't worth it nor was I enjoying it. But still, I seriously hope for the best for everyone else, this is significantly bigger than anything RUclips has dealt with for the past few years.
_“Censorship is telling a man he can't have a steak just because a baby can't chew it.”_ - *I don't care who it should be anymore* (Edit points you towards comment section)
Dear parents, Your children are no one's responsibility but your own. RUclips is not for children, and you should know that. Instead of buying your five year old a phone and letting them do whatever they want, tell them to read a book or play outside. Sincerely, The entire internet.
What ever happened to “use your parents permission before going online”. It should be a parents responsibility to set their children up with safe searches and cookie blockers.
This isn't only going to make kid oriented content go away, it's going to destroy most family friendly content. I don't want to live in a world where all content is either crappy baby videos and filthy "adult" videos.
Do these people seriously not know that there are cartoons made specifically for adults?? Yes kids tend to watch that stuff anyways but that's the parents' fault and people shouldn't be accountable for other people's lazy parenting. Kids under 13 shouldn't have a RUclips account anyways. I thought that was literally illegal.
I'm pretty sure your grandmother would have grown up with Betty Boop. Adult animation has existed as long as it was legally allowed. You have to be an idiot to not know about it.
Appealing to children: jokes, music, all games, cartoon characters, sports, stories, fantasy, pets, and junk food *Because adults don't consume any of the above obviously*
I guess they just assumed that all adults have the lives of the average member of the US government. AKA the life of a soulless work drone with no reason to exist other than to make the world as soulless as they are.
well , it is , they always had to cry that their babys didnt go to work with 2 years yet then they left them alone long enough and discovered "hey they can keep themselves entertained with the internet and then they decided to take it over because thats how the world works , you have to make everything into a dictator ship
empoppe You’re absolutely right. This is the government using modern parental laziness as leverage to generate more revenue for itself. It’s reprehensible.

Coppa is probobly planing on removing RUclips from the internet because I think they belive our content is causing kids to be violent. I doubt that's true but it's my opinion
Fact is "kids aren't going anywhere and when adults STOP making content for kids, the kids will crawl into adult content" since the internet is not going anywhere.
nah talking with no music, a solid gray backdrop, and a completely objective focus, with a very monotone voice, over a completely bland and uninteresting topic, not a tragedy, or political commentary, or anything mildly interesting. Welcome to the future of the internet
Speaking of Call of Duty and GTA are popular with kids ( M rated) which is sad to think that the FTC could think that videos covering those games are targeting kids, when kids shouldn't even be near those games.
Sorry, anything related to being a NORMAL HUMAN is now only for kids. Adults are now sad and gray and only talk about---actually they don't. They sit in silence and stare at the wall until they die.
“It is an online platform that is directed at children” no, youtube is not directed directly at children it’s directed at a large range of audiences and features content for older audiences as well as children
I mean, they're not wrong. My sister parks the kids in front of RUclips all the time. But still, it's my sister's job to keep the content appropriate, not the government's.
I just realized something. Because of this, RUclipsrs are going to start believing that everything is okay for kids, because they’re going to set all of their videos to kid-friendly.
@@samtinkle9076 not necessarily, because if you set your content to be for kids, your vids don't have comments and if your channel is set for kids, there aren't any post notifications, no community tab, no saving videos to watch later or playlists, no live chat on premieres or livestreams. Basically all anyone could do is watch the vid.
“Animation is for kids...” Oh yeah, because there definitely isn’t any adult animated shows *cough* South Park *cough* Family Guy *cough* *cough* Robot Chicken *cough* American Dad *wheeze* The Simpson’s
2019: RUclips doesn’t allow adult content 2020: RUclips doesn’t allow content for children 2021: RUclips shuts down Let’s all thank RUclips, FTC and its COPPA agreement for terminating humanity and killing our joy. What a shame that FTC and RUclips both have the nerve to make everything miserable now.
It's a cash grab by the government. They have RUclips in a place where any disobedience on their part could ruin them. Unfortunately RUclips can't do much to protect us from the greedy government.
This could potentially end people’s lives and either leave them in their parents house or the streets. This law is idiotic and unreasonable and it punishes the people that are not even responsible. RUclips...it’s gonna be a long year. Edit: Thanks for the likes boi’s!
Long ago, the creators and viewers of RUclips lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the FTC attacked. Edit: tbh, the FTC has applied this very well. I mean, have you heard of anyone with giant penalties over their head without valid reason since COPPA's implementation in January? Still, I'm leaving this comment intact because it humors me.
Then, one night the FTC's headquarters were raided. Hackers managed to delete the Made for Kids thing and FTC was no more. COPPA was no more and the creators lived happily ever after.
FTC: So you're an adult now? Me: Yep. FTC: What did you last watch? Me: I watched a video on how to make a tiny slingshot. FTC: But your an adult. Me: So? FTC: You're not allowed to have fun.
Alright, this has gone too far. I am not going to accept my freedoms as a creator being ripped away from me because of a collection of modern parents who complained that they can't leave their kids on the internet unsupervised. Well guess what? When I was a kid, I didn't have unsupervised internet access until I was 12 years old. Yes, a bit extreme, but does that mean I had a bad life? Not at all. Modern parents want to be able to give their kids tablets to make them shut up, and because they can't be lazy and let their kids explore the internet themselves, they are mad at the internet. They want people who are making a living off of the internet (and living their dreams) to change their content so that they don't have to monitor their kids. Grow up, people. If you don't want your kids playing in the dark world of the internet, get off your throne and be a parent; don't try to turn the dark places into light places, just so that you don't have to watch your kids anymore. Everybody else suffers so that you can be lazy without consequences-well, none to you, anyway.
Austin Pericule Very understandable. On the other hand creators that pander to kids are vile and disgusting. To me, they are the ones who should be punished but it seems like everyone is being lumped together just because any video could be seen by kids. Yeah this whole situation needs to be addressed more thoroughly before action is taken.
Michael Santana You're absolutely right. When a problem arises, most seem to stereotype all who are apart of the system as "part of the problem." I agree that there are many videos that lead parents to believe they are safe for kids, but are not. However, fixing a broken fence with an eight-foot wall isn't always the best solution. Something as simple as a better filtering system on RUclips's part could help solve the problem, and let's not forget about the FTC's "resources."
Austin Pericule Totally agree. They need to actually listen and hear the concerns from creators. I know monetizing to kids is wrong and especially channels that take advantage of their naivety but we need to define what kids content is, like in detail and not with vague language. Honestly RUclips had this a long time coming and made no effort to address it, along with many other things they need to change.
This takes "don't judge a book by its cover" to another level. Edit:Thx for the likes guys never got dis many :P (I promise I won't thank you for every single like)
They’re trying to force people onto streaming services or back onto tv. That’s the only reason to go so hard on RUclips. Free entertainment can’t be allowed to thrive in the supposed “free market”
- classic typical argmuent to say for this topic i guess - I know you're not an imbecile behind a Keyboard, i mean.... you know LUCAHJIN right - nuff said -
You have no rights, you have privileges which are granted by those in control. Most like to claim you are innocent until proven guilty, so exactly how innocent does someone feel after being handcuffed?
Does anyone remember when dont hug me im scared was marked for kids, smile hd, was marked cupcakes hd and etc. video: shows puppets being tormented by inanimate objects and being eaten. and mlp charaters being killed and tortured the most brutal way possible Coppa: puppets and mlp are for kids! Mark em down
funny thing is COPPA is the *worst* way to do it since COPPA, legally anyway, should not be able to do anything to the creators since they aren't the ones collecting info...which is what COPPA exclusivly does
Kind of. Republicans control govt right now. The FTC is stocked with Trump appointees. This is Christians finding another angle to control people. Their dystopia is EVERYTHING not their religion.
They're called *human beings.* children are already dehumanized because of age but thats more dehumanizing, and dare i say p3doph*lic to say. Also you were a child once so it makes you a "crotch-spawn" by your own logic.
Psychologically we are made to like bright colors.Age doesnt matter.The brighter a fruit the more ripe it is.We evolved to like bright colors.Age doesnt do anything to that enjoyment.
The thing is, before this RUclips wanted channels to be family friendly, so everyone tried to be family friendly to be for kids, now kids content will basically destroy your channel and since RUclips did the family friendly think quite a bit ago everyone has a bit of kids content RUclips dug it's own grave
RUclips is the one passing the buck to us despite them being the ones who broke the law. COPPA exists to help prevent the manipulation of children. It's not the problem here. Go after RUclips and stop listening to this alarmist's bullshit.
I mean the only reason that youtube was created was because of a one of the founders of youtube wanting to watch a video of Janet Jackson having a wardrobe malfunction at the superbowl.
Vlad J You have understand who is pulling the strings behind the curtains. Mainstream media is responsible for this. They are losing revenue. They don’t like it. They are using kids as a scapegoat.
True, very true. I.mean parents aren't able and shouldn't monitor all behavior for like 24/7. This though, this just says: hey parents, nahhh you don't have responsibility man... Chill
The parent's don't even need to monitor that much. The main things parents do need to monitor is: 1) the kid isn't using more data then they can afford; 2) the kid isn't going to sketchy sites with likely malware; 3) the kid isn't doing something that could get the parents in trouble.
So they're trying to ruin a whole generations enjoyment/livelihood because some parents can't parent their own children. The internet is not a babysitter. Literally anything on the internet should be self policed if you don't want your kids to see something bad. I'm sorry this is happening to all my favorite content creators. Whatever happens now Chad, I've loved everything you do and I'm happy I got to see it.
@Caleb Slamin I know right now it is, but over the years RUclips has gotten REALLY strict. And that has happened because they're outside sources to. But I feel like you have to look at the full picture.
Sadly, I didn’t watch RUclips when I was that old... now that I’ve heard about this, I would love to experience that era people talk about as an actual youtuber now that I’m a teenager.

Yep, south park is for nobody.

Sorry, anything related to being a NORMAL HUMAN is now only for kids. Adults are now sad and gray and only talk about---actually they don't. They sit in silence and stare at the wall until they die.
That might as well be the case. Either that, or adults' only source of animated entertainment is cable TV
Let's put this into perspective. Adults eat vegetables, pay taxes, get divorced; they do all sorts of c**l st*ff.
You're mistaken. Kids use chairs. Kids need walls.

Alright, this has gone too far. I am not going to accept my freedoms as a creator being ripped away from me because of a collection of modern parents who complained that they can't leave their kids on the internet unsupervised.
Well guess what? When I was a kid, I didn't have unsupervised internet access until I was 12 years old. Yes, a bit extreme, but does that mean I had a bad life? Not at all. Modern parents want to be able to give their kids tablets to make them shut up, and because they can't be lazy and let their kids explore the internet themselves, they are mad at the internet.
They want people who are making a living off of the internet (and living their dreams) to change their content so that they don't have to monitor their kids.
Grow up, people. If you don't want your kids playing in the dark world of the internet, get off your throne and be a parent; don't try to turn the dark places into light places, just so that you don't have to watch your kids anymore. Everybody else suffers so that you can be lazy without consequences-well, none to you, anyway.
Well said
Austin Pericule Very understandable. On the other hand creators that pander to kids are vile and disgusting. To me, they are the ones who should be punished but it seems like everyone is being lumped together just because any video could be seen by kids. Yeah this whole situation needs to be addressed more thoroughly before action is taken.
Ivan Dani75 I certainly have. I added a paragraph or two to make it seem less intrusive when I submitted it.
Michael Santana You're absolutely right. When a problem arises, most seem to stereotype all who are apart of the system as "part of the problem." I agree that there are many videos that lead parents to believe they are safe for kids, but are not. However, fixing a broken fence with an eight-foot wall isn't always the best solution.
Something as simple as a better filtering system on RUclips's part could help solve the problem, and let's not forget about the FTC's "resources."
Austin Pericule Totally agree. They need to actually listen and hear the concerns from creators. I know monetizing to kids is wrong and especially channels that take advantage of their naivety but we need to define what kids content is, like in detail and not with vague language. Honestly RUclips had this a long time coming and made no effort to address it, along with many other things they need to change.

It's RUclips's responsibility, not to monitor kids.
The parent's don't even need to monitor that much. The main things parents do need to monitor is: 1) the kid isn't using more data then they can afford; 2) the kid isn't going to sketchy sites with likely malware; 3) the kid isn't doing something that could get the parents in trouble.
Parents are useless they don't wanna parent anymore they want every one to do it for their lazy asses.
