      Over the last week I personally watched dozens of HORRIBLE child exploitation videos from verified accounts that were monetized. Last night we sent them to YouTube. They're all purged nowhttps://www.buzzfeed.com/charliewarzel/youtube-is-addressing-its-massive-child-exploitation-problem?utm_term=.roR3eweMZ5#.aaqWQaQ7mq …

      YouTube tells us that it's completely cracking down and making big policy changes today as a result.https://www.buzzfeed.com/charliewarzel/youtube-is-addressing-its-massive-child-exploitation-problem?utm_term=.roR3eweMZ5#.aaqWQaQ7mq …

      But one has to question how YouTube allowed this to go on for so long. These videos were AWFUL (ex: children being shoved in washing machines, being tied up, mock tortured, knocked unconscious).

      BuzzFeed News found one activist who'd contacted YouTube about this in the fall. It appears they didn't listen.pic.twitter.com/KOTU1157Wb

      As always: what's so troubling is YouTube's recommendation algorithm. As I screened these videos, YT kept feeding me more and more of them. Stuff like this:pic.twitter.com/ELVLJccP7E

          Toys & children’s characters is another area that’s highly exploitive. Bert & Ernie having sex, for example. I pulled up a few accidentally w/ my 3 year old granddaughter watching!

          Wonder if there are similar videos if you search in other languages.
