Replying to:dezwayit (COPPA) was originally to protect children from pedophile
basically, it went too far like you said
and the people who suffer will be the independent content creators that are actually enjoyable, they’ll have to change their content or take in less revenue
this already began happening years ago when some channels I liked got their shit pushed in and have had to branch out and/or change their content, because For The Children™ struck
meanwhile the jimmy kimmels and will smiths and cnn/fox news’s of the world will be immune
we gotta protect The Children™ from all those naughty words like “shit” and “fart” and all that suggestive conten-
*cut to playing call of duty blowing out peoples skulls, teabagging, and getting called the n-word over xbox live*

it (COPPA) was originally to protect children from pedophiles and stuff
but now to my knowledge it’s gone too far and the FTC sued YouTube and they had to pay like $170M over some violations
so now this is a thing and from what I can tell personalized ads won’t be a thing on those videos and no comments
it’s stupid
