Hello, I was watching a youtube video on the EEvblog2 channel today about this new development in the youtube creator space involving the COPPA law. He made the video in relation to this Youtube Support page ( https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9383587 ) about upcoming changes to the youtube video publishing system and channel accountability for disclosure of content that is made for or could be seen as targeted at kids. "You will be required to tell us if your content is made for kids". I was wondering what thoughts people on the forum are in relation to how youtube is handling there compliance after they recently got fined millions of dollars for non compliance and how this might affect channels like LTT which is targeted at all ages and demographics. I personally think that that youtube is going to have a very difficult time coming, youtube is requiring all creators to take on the responsibility for compliance with COPPA, (https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/complying-coppa-frequently-asked-questions) and they have already in the past blocked all comments and reduced ads on videos directed at children. I only see them extending there already restrictive rules on child directed content to most videos on the platform to avoid liability in the future.
Again, I'd like to hear what people have to say on the topic, and I look forward to reading replies.
PS: COPPA compliance penalties are "operators who violate the Rule liable for civil penalties of up to $42,530 per violation".
