In a world where the safety of children on the internet it is a growing concern, YouTube you're making a step forward to protect the users as the most vulnerable. The company is, in fact, announced the introduction of an option is “read only” for the comments on the experience of the supervision of children on the platform. This action is intended to prevent the little ones to find the content inappropriate.
This represents one of the settings of the biggest in the the features in parental control to be on YouTube, which by the year 2021, when it was presented to me a lot for the protection of the minor, after pressure from the legislature. First, the comments were full çaktivizuara for kids. However, YouTube said that, in the future, I will be working with parents and professionals to add to this comment, with access to age-appropriate for older children.
The option “read only” in the settings of the content
In this setting, active, by default, the kids are going to be able to read but not to write it down the comments on the video in the d “Eksploro me too much”, and “the vast Majority of YouTube”. First allow access to, the content to be appropriate for ages 13 years and up, and the second one for the vast majority of videos on YouTube, with the exception of those explicitly only on the adults. In both cases, the children are going to have to comment only on the reading and discussion of the direct-to off.
YouTube it provides parents with the ability to turn off completely the comments under the video, by moving the reference to “Eksploro”, which is intended for viewers of the age of 9 years old. In this mode, usually following the use of the app YouTube Kids does not allow the children to read, or write in the comments.
Parents can manage the settings for the children such as the YouTube, as well as in the Family Link by checking the history on their devices. In this way they have total control over the experience with the little ones.

After he has been for a number of years the pressure on companies in the technology, that is, to do more to protect children from the negative influences of their services, but it has been slow in the codification of the requirements of their new laws. However, the safety and Security of Children on the internet, and the COPPA 2.0 is entering the last days of looking the controls on the strengths of parenting and greater protection of data and in the privacy of children and adolescents. YouTube is going through the necessary changes to the platform and its parental control by introducing the protections of the new, as well as the others.
As YouTube continues to work on improving the experience of users, to his young children, it remains to be seen how these new measures, protective influence on the interaction of the child with the platform, and the well-being of their total on the internet.
