#2>On Sunday, Matt Watson, a video blogger, posted a 20-minute clip detailing how comments on YouTube were used to identify certain videos in which young girls were in activities that could be construed as sexually suggestive, such as posing in front of a mirror and doing gymnastics.
I looked at some of the videos that appeared in his report and it's basically family videos of young girls, the same kind of videos my own sisters would shoot with our dad's camcorder. His first example are videos that come up when you search https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=orbeez+bath.
I'm sure these videos do attract some weirdos in the comments, and in the next paragraph Youtube says that they want to moderate that activity, but what else do you do here? Ban kids uploading a video of their innocent pool party because some creeps might enjoy it?
The youtuber's video includes the provocative phrase "Sexual Exploitation of Children", but I only saw harmless videos of kids having fun when I looked at his own examples. He also focuses a lot on the comments themselves which is a much different argument.

I think EU upload filter are a perfect solution!

You want to ban videos of children from the internet because pedophiles might be aroused by them?

I don't think Youtube can or should do much of anything here, but why on earth as a parent would you let your child upload something like that to a public website (or even worse, upload it yourself)?
There are a ton of weirdo creeps out there and putting your child's private videos on Youtube of all places seems like terrible parenting.

That'd likely be seen as an overreach now, but twenty years from now we may wish we'd done that.
In the meantime, making them only visible to an approved list of friends/family seems like a reasonable step for video of or published by minors. Maybe you put together a "child actor" exemption where they parents can moderate it for public access.

So his examples might be quite tame and understandable. But there's a lot of others that aren't there's a reddit community that's been documenting channels that have these kinds of videos, https://www.reddit.com/r/ElsaGate/
EDIT: some of the worst I've seen are usually involving Micky or Minnie mouse doing drugs and other things, while containing a bunch of keywords intended to get into recommendations. https://i.redd.it/i5rvr5ad9ug21.jpg

I hear ya. It’s one of those things that are like Janus and are two sided.
But imagine: store employees make a peep hole in dressing rooms. Sure parents help their children change, depending on age, it’s all innocent, but an unsupervised uninvited stranger is a little different, right?
Same with these kids’ videos. Now of course a good question is who’s uploading, thd kids or the parents? Parents should know better than make family vids avail to all, Google should do a better job of figuring out if a kid’s old enough to upload if the parent isn’t involved in this.
They may even default to “private”/unlisted if they can auto determine the uploader is a kid, and advise parents if content, though innocent, contains minors (this should be default for parents anyway because although they have right to make decisions for their kids, they should think hard before putting their kids out there on the internet, if nothing else for the privacy of their kids')
