YouTube to restrict 'disturbing' children's videos, if flagged
A current problem that technology is facing is the screening and blocking of age appropriate material. YouTube is currently working with parents and other avenues to decrease the amount of indecent footage that shows up in kid-age searches. Often when kids are searching for age appropriate items such as Disney Characters or Super Hero a list of videos will accumulate based on their interests. Sometimes what appears to be a decent video, is the opposite. The creators of these video are using childlike characters to exploit adult content including violence and sexual subjects. These characters are being “algorithmically generated to capitalize on popular trends”.
I find this article important and a serious issue which hits home for me personally. I recently started paying attention to an animated video my four-year-old was watching with some of his favorite characters from Paw Patrol and Spider man. The content that these characters were discussing were extremely inappropriate. When I further investigated this issue on the web and with other parents they told me that they have a YouTube Kids app which I was unfamiliar with. I downloaded this app and it seems to be somewhat better.
Although after reading this article I am still uncertain of the app as YouTube admits how hard it has become to sensor all the videos that come through. This article states that YouTube currently addresses videos that have been flagged and will no longer allow these users to earn advertising money incentives that they previously had earned.
Also due to the fact that in many cases videos are not reported the problem is bigger than most think. It is said that ‘human oversight is simply impossible’ leading to the case that issue will not and may not be fixed anytime soon.
QUESTIONS:
1. What can ‘YouTubers’ do to help this problem?
2. What other apps do you know have similar issues that have been resolved?

What do ERCs do? Looking at ERC 20, ERC 721, and More!
ReplyDeleteA Dappedia without an explanation about some ERCs would not be considered complete. We will explain the main ERCs that are used almost everytime we use a dapp on the Ethereum network—along with some of their lesser-known improvements. In the simplest of terms, when you read “ERC” you are likely reading about token-related functions on the Ethereum Network. For many, ERCs may seem like a terrifying task, so we tried to break down some of the most important ERCs that we see people reference when promoting their dapps.
