Not to defend the ongoing bullcrap with the age verification but if you look at what child videos Youtube has to offer this would be better off to be banned from the entire Planet. Just cheap brainrot animation series that aim to keep kids locked in.

    This is a sledgehammer for a walnut. Soon we'll all have to use real world ID to access the internet, which will be further walled off by having to ask AI instead of doing a search

    YouTube kids is 20 minutes of relief

    I mean that isn't exactly the talking point I would want to use against age verification… We don't have to dispute that calming children down with videos isn't especially good for their development in order to argue against censorship and against keeping young people from having fun, having access to information, and socializing.

    ETA: and provided that the parent has verified their age, it doesn't affect that scenario anyway, so, huh

    I needed to verify my age on my son's xbox so he could play a game online with me. Pure private game, no randos, just me and him.

    Now his xbox knows hes over 18, despite the fact that hes not. Its fine by me because hes mature enough to do adult things, but it fully defeats the purpose.
