[Several companies, including Nestle
and Fortnite
creator Epic Games, are pulling
advertisements from YouTube
over concerns that paedophiles
have been leaving disturbing comments
on videos of children.
Key points:
YouTube's recommendations
algorithm makes it easy to find videos
of young children in compromising poses
Many comments left on these videos
are paedophilic in nature, often leaving
timestamps for revealing moments
or links to other unlisted videos
YouTube has disabled comments on
tens of millions of videos and big
advertisers have suspended their ads
A video from popular YouTuber
MattsWhatItiS and a report from
Wired showed that some users
had been making unseemly comments
on innocuous videos of kids.
MattsWhatItIs said he had
discovered a "softcore paedophile ring"
operating on the website.]


What a mess
Good they are sorting it out.
