YouTube says it plans to ban comments on most videos featuring young minors amid concerns of pedophiles using the platform to exploit children.
The video sharing platform, owned by Google parent company Alphabet, began disabling comments over the last week on “tens of millions of videos that could be subject to predatory behavior.”
YouTube says in the coming months it’s “broadening this action to suspend comments on videos featuring young minors and videos featuring older minors that could be at risk of attracting predatory behavior.”
Last week, several major companies began pulling advertisements from the site over concerns of ads being played on videos where child exploitation was occurring in the comments.
