We can't allow any children to see any inappropriate content! Lets keep banning things until we make that true!


Nobody's banning it. They can go to normal youtube if their parents let them. You're tilting at windmills.


Oh I'm sure the law will be written in such a way that it'll be super easy to comply. Barely an inconvenience!

It won't stifle communication on the internet at all. Trust us.


Do you think it stifles anything to categorize movies as either G, PG, or neither? It's just a guideline that parents can choose to use or ignore.


You are talking about banning 'G', here.

The problem with excessive regulation is that complying with it can be extremely complicated and time consuming. If you don't have the money to pay for that, you either risk being fined or sued, you don't play.

It sets a bar that only already wealthy people can get over.


What law? I think most people are suggesting Google do this without the requirement of regulation to force them.


Sometimes I like to write my grievances on a slip of paper, and put it in a bottle. Then I throw the bottle into the ocean.

I hope someday someone will read it.
