So, YouTube is paying a $170M fine to the FTC today, and it's actually a fairly important thing for some creators (mostly creators of content that is specifically for kids under 13). So I wanted to share thoughts and context.https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/04/technology/google-youtube-fine-ftc.html …

One thing I'm concerned about is what classifies as kids videos? Could Minecraft and Fortnite gaming videos be affected for example, especially the ones that are more kid friendly?

Replying to @grandayy @hankgreen
This is for videos explicitly made for kids – it’s less about the general category (gaming) or the game played (Minecraft), & more about the individual video's content + target audience. See how the FTC defines child directed content in D1 of their FAQs:https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/complying-coppa-frequently-asked-questions …
