Earlier today, @YouTube CEO @SusanWojcicki was asked what's the acceptable failure rate for YouTube's policy enforcement system, which has both humans and machine learning trying to catch stuff that violates YouTube's stated guidelines ...
If YouTube has altered its policies since February -- so that now a broad swath of videos depicting young minors are totally cool to have comments -- YouTube should be publicly transparent about those policy changes

Over the course of reporting this story, YouTube PR eventually relented that I could report a new qualification to its original promise: it now considers "adult supervision" in whether or not it disables comments on clips with young minors
-
Basically, if there is an adult on camera in a video with a young kid, then comments seem to be allowed. But that's not at all how Susan Wojcicki characterized the policy on stage in March when Kara Swisher was grilling her
-
And YouTube certainly isn't broadcasting how it has rolled back its promises about disabling comments on kids videos in the run-up to getting hit with a record penalty for violating kids data privacy
