YouTube Gets Tougher On Sexual Content

Changes thumbnail selection process, too

1 Comment

It is good that they are

It is good that they are doing this. My kids view cartoons on youtube, and end up being exposed to a lot of sexual content much more serious than those depicted above. The trick used by those perpetrators is to pick a completely 'innocent' clip (it could even be scientific), and chose that exact wrong moment in the clip and use it as the thumbnail. This is a problem. You find yourself unable to complain, but you are sure this is deliperate as there is a distinguishable pattern on those videos. For example, going to the offensive video page itself you would find similar content under the 'related tab'. All videos about different topics, yet somehow, they all managed to have a thumbnail of a thinly clad female!
