The truth is that you are lazy and don`t care enough, you rather have your kid staring to a monitor so you can relax and also stare at an other monitor and complain that others don`t give quality content for children. OMG you should take care of your own kid, not others and for sure not a corporate who only wants to make money. Stop acting like a victim, and start acting like a responsible parent

      It's a kind of child abuse.

      Not only YT, some childrens apps and games from the Play store violate childrens privacy. They collect unnecessary data, had inappropriate adds, has links to trick little children.

      The owners, creators of these services probably don't give their children a phone to play or watch video. They want to safeguard their children but don't care about messing up other people's children for money.

        I still don't get how data privacy and Google come under same topic, Google is notorious spy and data collection agency even if they move to youtube kids they won't stop collecting personal data cause they are Google.

        As they stated they don't care if the future generation grows up to be a human with humanity or a perverted phyco as long as they get rich.

          Download the videos and disable the internet when giving the phone to kids.

          Buy a CD, copy it to the phone.

                    also don't let your children watch YouTube/browse the internet unattended if you dont want them to see things they shouldn't see. the internet is inherently not safe for children unless you know what you're doing and go with an extremely strict whitelist approach, maybe

                      I support the transition. I'm too worried about it. My girl is barely a year old. and I do my best not to expose her to high-level technology at least until she's 2. but once I'll let her watch youtube... I worry about the auto-play. or no specific platform for kids. so if Google removes from main youtube and moves all child-friendly material to Youtube-kids. I'll be glad to use that site!

                          Best tech news for me today, as a parent, youtube brings many immorality content to kids, they don’t care about the future of what kind of person our kids will be
                          They just about subscriber view bandwith so they can sell ads
                          So this is excellent decision that court give them this punishment
                          And one more, please don’t preinstall youtube to android smartphone, that is garbage
                          I give all my kids iphone, cause they don’t have youtube preinstalled, they want to install throught appstore? I keep the password myself
