YouTube has taken the polar plunge as advertisers and users are freezing out the video-sharing site over the discovery of droves of\u00a0<\/i>inappropriate comments on the videos of minors. The company\u00a0<\/i>says it\u2019s<\/i>\u00a0taking immediate action to remedy\u00a0<\/i>the situation, in which\u00a0<\/i>thousands of<\/i>\u00a0flagged<\/i>\u00a0<\/i>reports<\/i>\u00a0<\/i>have apparently been missed. For those parents who don\u2019t have time to wait for YouTube to protect your kids<\/i>\u00a0this Christmas, we have an incredible solution.<\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Icy Truth About YouTube\u00a0Danger<\/span><\/h2>\n

YouTube is the perfect addition to your family\u2019s holiday festivities \u2013 inciting rousing karaoke renditions of Deck the Halls or laughter abound as you and the kids watch your favorite Christmas Fails compilation. But lurking beneath this seemingly utopian Whoville of video cheer is a sinister\u00a0beast\u00a0that threatens the innocence and safety of our youth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No, we\u2019re not talking about\u00a0Krampus\u00a0the Christmas demon,\u00a0but another monster that trolls YouTube looking to prey on children\u00a0\u2013\u00a0pedophiles.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Verge recently reported\u00a0an\u00a0epidemic\u00a0of\u00a0\u2018sexual\u00a0comments<\/a>\u2019 being left on videos of children. And we\u2019re not talking pornographic or inappropriate videos (even though some of those are being neglected)<\/i>, but normal videos of children practicing sports, playing with friends or sharing their \u2018outfit of the day.\u2019\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Videos of children that in no way appear unsuitable for YouTube, but that garner feedback like \u2018Please can you get completely naked,\u2019 or \u2018Only wear one shirt and no bra. Or nothing at all is great to,\u2019\u00a0reports\u00a0BBC<\/a>.\u00a0Not to mention phone numbers,\u00a0WhatsApp accounts and invitations to send more videos.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It sends a chill down our spines too.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Doesn\u2019t YouTube Have A Naughty List?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

The video-sharing giant does have a\u00a0system<\/a>\u00a0in place\u00a0to\u00a0eliminate\u00a0less-than-desirable content\u00a0and user accounts\u00a0\u2013\u00a0including\u00a0a combination of automated systems and human flagging. But with\u00a0an\u00a0300 hours<\/a>\u00a0of videos uploaded every\u00a0minute\u00a0it\u2019s understandable that some slip through the cracks.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And\u00a0of course,\u00a0it\u2019s even more difficult when the videos themselves\u00a0appear\u00a0innocent\u00a0in nature.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Eyebrows raise, however, when\u00a0YouTube\u2019s team of trusted flaggers\u00a0have\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0little support\u00a0in their efforts to remove inappropriate comments\u00a0for over a year.\u00a0Or when BBC Trending submitted 28 clearly\u00a0obscene comments<\/a>\u00a0directly\u00a0to YouTube\u00a0and only 5 were deleted. Or when 250 companies\u00a0recently\u00a0abandoned or\u00a0scaled back YouTube\u00a0advertising<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Or when. Or when. Or when.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, does YouTube drop lumps of coal in the stockings of those on the naughty list?\u00a0The answer is\u00a0yes,\u00a0sometimes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
