YouTube is generally considered safe by most parents, especially if they get their children to use the ‘kids’ version of the YouTube app. Kids can usually be safe while watching YouTube, but that safety doesn’t extend to uploading and commenting on YouTube. YouTube has a child predator problem just as bad as, if not worse than, TikTok. If you want to keep your children safe on YouTube, then you need to know the following.There Was Always a Huge ProblemThe amount of ‘Elsagate’ content still to be found on YouTube is staggering. | Source: RedditYouTube has struggled with harming children for years, not just due to child predators. For a long time, the YouTube algorithm was pushing sexually explicit, inappropriate content to children in an incident known as Elsagate. This incident was the name given to a swarm of supposedly child-friendly videos that featured highly inappropriate content. These videos got pushed to children by featuring popular children’s characters like Elsa and Spider-Man. The truth was that these videos featured themes such as death, mutilation, and even occasionally drug use.When it all came out, YouTube responded by creating new guidelines and deleting channels. Despite this, these Elsagate-style videos are still all over the website. They’re typically not monetized anymore, but that only stops people from making money from them. Kids can continue to find these videos, and they can be severely traumatized by them. Frankly, YouTube still hasn’t done enough.It Doesn’t End With ‘Elsagate.’YouTube may have hidden these comments, but the people who made them can still access the site and these sorts of videos. | Source: WiredApart from the fact that Elsagate never went away, it’s far from the only issue that plagues YouTube when it comes to kids. It came to public attention that numerous videos of children playing were…

Two days after the Cyber Crime Branch (CCB) of Tamil Nadu registered a case against Karuppar Koottam, a Tamil YouTube channel run by Periyarist-Dravidianist activists , police arrested M Senthil Vasan, one of the key members of the channel, on Wednesday evening.Surendra Natarajan, another prominent anchor of the channel, is said to have filed an anticipatory petition in Madras High Court to prevent his arrest.The police made the arrests based on complaints filed by RC Paul Kanakaraj, head of the state BJP Advocates’ division in Tamil Nadu, Vinoj P Selvam, BJP’s state youth wing leader, on behalf of BJP State vice president MN Raja.The complainants had sought immediate action against a video uploaded on the YouTube channel by Surendra Natarajan on Monday over vulgar remarks about Hindu deity Murugan and a prayer sung in his praise called ‘Kandha Sashti Kavacham’.The CCB registered a case under Sections 153, 153(A)(1)(a), 295(P), 505 (1)(b) and 505(2) of IPC on Monday.A video made by Karuppar Kootam (Black group/mob) ridiculing the holy Skanda Sashti Kavacham (a hymn to Lord Skanda, son of Lord Shiva, seeking his total protection) had left Tamil Hindus angry and upset.The Skanda Sashti Kavacham, made popular by siblings Soolamangalam Sisters Jayalakshmi and Rajalakshmi, is a hymn that resonates daily in the homes of Tamil Hindus. People recite the hymn seeking good health, fortune, and mental peace.The Karuppar Kootam has, in particular, ridiculed verses between 64 and 92. These verses seek from Lord Skanda protection of each part of the body from head to the toe.In one particular video, Karuppar Kootam, which enjoys the support of DMK-allied influential Periyarist ideologues like Suba Veerapandian, launched vulgar and misogynistic tirade against the devotional poetic verses seeking divine protection for organs of reproduction and excretion.Several Hindu groups have criticised the Karuppar Kootam video, saying it…

By V. Gnana 16 July 2020 In recent weeks, YouTube has censored several podcasts of Tamil-language WSWS articles uploaded to the Tamil WSWS Facebook page via YouTube. The administrators of the Tamil WSWS Facebook page challenged each of these acts of censorship, and each video has been made publicly available again, but after several days’ delay. Even though YouTube’s decision to re-post each video after censoring it makes clear that the Tamil WSWS is not violating YouTube’s Community Guidelines, this censorship is continuing. YouTube has repeatedly sent the following message to the YouTube channel posting podcasts of Tamil-language WSWS articles: “As you may know, our Community Guidelines describe which content we allow—and don’t allow—on YouTube. Your video was flagged to us for review. Upon review, we’ve determined that it violates our guidelines and we’ve removed it from YouTube.” The censored podcasts warned of the dangers of a US-led war against China in the region, of mounting police violence or of military rule in the United States or in Sri Lanka. YouTube blocked Tamil versions of these articles for several days after they were flagged by unnamed users: June 16: Would-be führer Trump steps up coup plotting June 17: The protests against police murder: The way forward June 22: Police violence and class rule June 25: India and China remain on knife edge as war tensions continue July 2: Hands off the Sri Lankan Trotskyists—SEP demands military stops harassing its election candidates in Jaffna There should be no mistake about the political significance of censoring these articles. Thousands of workers and youth follow WSWS reports and statements in Tamil via social media. YouTube censorship aims to prevent the Socialist Equality Party (SEP) of Sri Lanka from alerting Tamil-speaking workers in Sri Lanka, India and around the world in a timely fashion…
