YouTube Will Disable Comments on Nearly All Videos With Kids
Found on Variety on Friday, 01 March 2019
YouTube said in a blog post Thursday that over the past week it had already shut off comments for “tens of millions of videos” that could be subject to predatory behavior. Now, it will expand that to suspend comments on virtually all videos featuring young minors, as well as videos featuring older kids that “could be at risk of attracting predatory behavior.”
That's a quite nuclear reaction for what appears to be a rather small issue.
