My daughter is 10. She watched videos about Frozen 2 on your site. The algorithm started recommending alt right rants about why there should not have been black people in the movie. Fuck right off with your blood money. https://twitter.com/YouTube/status/1266540691791863808
I get this impulse but "don't watch YouTube" is neither practical nor sufficient in the long term. White parents have to teach kids about 1) racism and 2) how tech companies manipulate them. Protect kids by empowering them. 7 is not too young to start. https://twitter.com/BrieCodes/status/1267123612294811648?s=20
Since this is blowing up I should be clear that what I called "alt right rants" were not the aggressive, shouty videos adults get. They were cutesy & subtle: "Haha I guess even Disney is politically correct now!" Kids without tools to recognize racism would not have spotted them.
