Have you read these new rules of youtube? 

since 2020 for any video  about  kids you will pay a fine of 42000$ 

no manga no gaming no musique U18 

 

As usual you don’t understand rules. Starting in December you have to tell YouTube if your video includes kids (and if you got consent from their parents for them to be in the video), and you have to mark if your video is kid friendly or not. I’m against the changes, but there’s not much we can do. I think the internet should be open for all ages, but the older generations disagree (keep in mind most people over 35 will never have the childhood I had). I do think we should protect kids from seeing sexual, violent, or otherwise unhealthy content, but some of the things they’re doing aren’t right in my opinion. I do think people should obviously say if their videos in involves minors and got constant to include them, and I do think people should mark wether or not their videos are kid friendly, but as someone who believes in a form of free form parenting, I think locking kids out of content because it’s intense, mildly violent, or educational (but with adult themes) is wrong. I don’t think it will change much in the end, so I’m not all that upset about it, but there will almost certainly be legal fights with multiple creators. I mean we allow our kids to get shot attending school, but heaven forbid someone drops an curse word in a video ?. My god! They’re practically Satan now! Or what if a child sees a video about the Holocaust (and maybe they realize what the last generations can’t, that white supremacy and racial divides aren’t a good thing). It’s just arbitrary, and it goes against the purpose of internet. Plus, it just gives YouTube another way to go after channels they don’t like.

Ugh. No, we don't. Nobody 'allows' that. It is not allowed, it is pretty strictly illegal. Get your facts straight.

Tell that to the 100s of parents whose kids died in school shootings in the US (that statement was more meant for the US). Inaction is complicity.

Fairly sure they know it is in fact illegal and not allowed.

 

By the way, I agree mostly with your stance on the YouTube stuff (what this is about), just don't pull it into ridicule by going "yeah but people are allowed to shoot up schools!". Uh, no, they're not, and also it's not related.

Yeah, I remember when YouTube was the Wild West of the internet. Creators could the connect they wanted, and not worry about the blowback from Google. Obviously stuff like porn and recorded crime should be kept off there, but it would be fun to return to a simpler time on YouTube.

Good news and bad news about Indian lunar lander Vikram, with which contact was lost 2km above the moon's surface three months ago.

 

The good news is NASA found it  

 

Spoiler

The bad news is, Vikram is in a couple thousand pieces spread across several kilometers.
