What’s considered “for kids”?
Children are intended audience
Includes child actors
Includes literally anything that can appeal to children
No baby talk or kid songs
And no fortnite
This is world wide and youtube won’t help determine if a video appeals to kids
Finable offense up to $42,530 PER violation
Plans on using a contentID-type system to detect if your content appeals to kids..
“COPPA wasn’t even originally about content. It was originally supposed to be about not collecting sensitive information.”

On content flagged for kids, YouTube will not:
Serve personalized ads
Allow comments or contextual items
Videos can’t be saved to playlist
No notification bell
December 10th new TOS goes into effect
Yellow Devil video https://youtu.be/NpXk7h7Lljg?t=264
DON’T FORGET GOOGLE/YOUTUBE JUST PAID $170M FINE, THEY ARE THE FTC’S B
YouTube may terminate your account if it doesn’t deem it commercially viable
FTC plans on conducting a sweep after January 1st, reserve the right to sue creators directly
What can you even post on YT anymore? No kid friendly content, no adult content, no political wrong-think political content, what’s left?
