Before someone starts, this **isn’t** due to the EU
>YouTube first rolled out these restrictions in the United States last year, and is now expanding them in Europe and around the world, **on the guidance of its youth and family advisory committee**.
I see EU stable, still attracted to dictatorship and censorship
damn i wish they could ban fake news/fearmongering channels, too. Reporting them doesnt do shit
YouTube is also going to limit access to videos that glorify unhealthy or excessive eating and glorify obesity, right? Right?
How about banning videos explaining complex scientific issues? Are we banning those too as it might marginalize certain IQ groups?
Calm down, everyone.
EU is not going to be removing any videos or restricting access for everyone.
It’s about restricting access for **TEENAGERS**. Which is good. Teenagers are susceptible to certain topics and are very easy to influence and harm. Thus, such regulations are to protect teenagers.
im fine with them doing this, but weirded out that there are no limitiations on glorifying obesity and such
So when are they gonna ban mukbang videos??
Isn’t this still just fighting symptoms though? Reads to me like the algorithm is the problem.
Kid clicks ‘baby shark’ once and the algorithm spirals into increasingly dumb and annoying videos. (seriously i had to wipe that account as it couldn’t recover!)
Teen clicks on one too many ‘health’ video and is driven to anorexia? Algorithm.
Click on a video that tries to explain what the heck is going on with the US’s Repuplican party? Congratulations, you’re a hardcore MAGA trumper now! Algorithm
Don’t you dare click anything Taylor Swift…
Fix the algorithm problem!
Idiots
That is probably the stupidest justification there is. The Americans simply want Europeans to get as fat as they are. They are jealous
“Which videos will YouTube restrict for teenagers?
YouTube said it will now limit repeated recommendations of videos that:
Idealise particular fitness levels or weight groups
Compare and idealise certain physical features, or
Are socially aggressive, meaning they show intimidation or fighting.”
The third one I can get behind. Social aggression has no place in civilised society.
Comparason and idealisation of fitness are necessary to insure that we will have a healthy population. If you dont tell people about how unhealthy it is to be fat and how to get in better shape health issues will skyrocket and general life satisfaction will plumit.
This is pretty vague and has left me with more questions than answers. Does ‘idealise particular fitness levels or weight group’ mean banning content that promotes a bmi of under 15 (which is reasonable) or does it ban content that promotes a bmi of between 20 to 25? I don’t know. Does banning “socially aggressive’ content mean banning mma or martial arts content? Or does it mean banning abusive or bullying content.
Americans just hate healthy bodies and healthy fit people, don’t they.
Eu. Address the root causes of obesity: education, access to affordable food choice, quality education teaching nutrition and home cooking, high quality phys ed and sport programs, quality publicly funded sport areas in the communities. Eu: restrict videos promoting fitness. There Much easier.
these “fitness” vidoes promote surrealistic bodies and steroids, bad for teenagers basically
EU is embarrassing
I feel like they’re only doing this to try and keep teenage boys from being masculine and docile.
More censorship great. Let me guess its okay to show obese eating and other consumerist shit.
People should be fit and it’s regressive as a society that we don’t encourage people to live happy healthy lives.
So it’s better for European teens to remain fat and unhealthy????
