It will apparently be the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2019-08-28\/youtube-builds-new-website-for-children-after-criticism\">desktop\/web version<\/a>&nbsp;of its existing Kids app, so you could probably expect similar features and safeguards available through the application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Google-owned video platform has been under intense scrutiny over the past few years due to various issues related to videos targeting children. It had to grapple with the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2017\/12\/29\/youtube-poor-ai-training-child-exploitation-videos-buzzfeed-report\/\">rise in child-exploitative<\/a>&nbsp;videos that masqueraded as family-friendly content, and it even had to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2019\/02\/28\/youtube-shuts-off-comments-on-videos-with-young-children\/\">shut down<\/a>&nbsp;the comments section in videos with young children, because they were plagued with pedophilic responses. The platform also had to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2019\/07\/20\/ftc-settlement-google-youtube-kids-privacy-probe\/\">face an FTC probe<\/a>&nbsp;that looked into whether it violated COPPA by collecting data for children under the age of 13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to launching a dedicated website for children, the platform has also introduced new categories for YouTube Kids, so young users can explore videos in a safer environment. You&#8217;ll now be able to control what the app shows by choosing from three different age groups: Preschool for kids ages 4 and under, Younger for children ages 5 to 7 and Older for kids ages 8 to 12. The Older category can show a wider variety of videos, of course, including music and gaming videos, as well as family vlogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the new measures, YouTube has included a reminder in its announcement that it doesn&#8217;t manually review all its videos. &#8220;Our systems work hard to exclude content not suitable for each of these age categories, but not all videos have been manually reviewed,&#8221; it wrote. It&#8217;s worth noting that YouTube&#8217;s algorithms are nowhere near perfect, as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.co.uk\/article\/youtube-for-kids-videos-problems-algorithm-recommend\"><em>Wired<\/em><\/a>&nbsp;found in 2018 when it discovered the bizarre and disturbing content that popped up while searching for children&#8217;s search terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source:  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2019\/08\/29\/youtube-kids-website\/?guccounter=1\">https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2019\/08\/29\/youtube-kids-website\/?guccounter=1<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The platform has also introduced new age-based categories.
