Many parents have let their young children enter the well-known YouTube page, whether to watch episodes of their favorite series, videogame gameplays, watch educational videos or toy reviews. But behind those colorful and friendly covers there may be obscene or disturbing content for a small child.
YouTube's intention in recent years is to erase inappropriate, obscene or violent videos so that the platform is "more secure"but there are "infantile" videos that are very inappropriate for anyone and still do not erase them, among them I have come across a video called: 5 Little HITLERS Jumping On The Bed | Nursery Rhymes for Children | 3D Animation
You can come across videos like these:
There are millions of similar content for "children". Many parents have made complaints about these videos, because for obvious reasons they are inappropriate. For this reason they released an application called YouTube Kids, its function is to filter everything so that only the content for children enters the app. Well, when you download the app, the only videos you can see are children's videos
But whenever you get into the app you find almost the same inappropriate videos. Although many confirm that it is safe to let your children watching videos on YouTube Kids is not true. The videos that supposedly are chosen very meticulously are an algorithm that filters them. Although that will soon change because YouTube has announced in its official blog that this algorithm will be replaced by a team of moderators and also parents can control the channels and sections that their children can see.
My very personal opinion; Do not let children use a computer or tablet without adult supervision, or at least until they have knowledge of what they can and can not see. The Internet has a dark side, and it is dangerous for a young child to discover it, it can be disturbed if it goes into the Internet more than it should.
