YouTube Disables Comments on Videos with Minors

Youtube has more problems: https://abcnews.go.com/US/youtube-k...nstructions-removed-reports/story?id=61326717

Multiple videos on Youtube Kids app surfaced showing regular kids videos and in the middle of it cut to a character telling the kids to slit their wrists and kill themselves. I saw one yesterday, a Peppa Pig episode, reported it and it's gone today. No more youtube for my kids.

The scum that does this need to be drawn and quartered.

Yep. #Elsagate

I don't see how it is a hoax when I saw it with my own two eyes.

Quote from Youtube is a bold face lie: “We’ve seen no recent evidence of videos promoting the Momo Challenge on YouTube. Videos encouraging harmful and dangerous challenges are against our policies,” a company spokesperson wrote on Twitter.

the momo thing is a hoax and people are now using it for views. there is no evidence of anything attributed to it actually happening. people freaking out about it only gives it traction.

So after
get woke - go broke

we get:
silence viewers - go broke

I know it's not as catchy but that's the just of it.

I already saw comments disabled on videos that didn't even feature minors, This is not going to end well. Youtube again being thick headed and blunt. Of course they don't give a fuck about collateral damage.

After reading about this Momo thing, I conclude that this is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
