@luzenizine I logged into twitter for the first time in MONTHS just so I can follow the link and get this. Bless you guys, can't wait for it to go live!
@TeamYouTube Hello, I need assistance with an appeal. Youtube disabled the comments, without warning, on "The Vampire Lestat Book Review" which is VERY CLEARLY not for kids, no kids appear, and so would very much like a method to appeal.
While we may know our audience best @YouTube that doesn't mean that a bot or the FTC does and can still overrule us/fine us if our content is seen as "kid-appealing" despite intent. #COPPA#FTC
@TeamYouTube @iWaffleZ_YT We cannot afford lawyers to seek legal counsel, we know our audience best but bots and FTC/YouTube do not, so things that are not intended for kids could be seen as "kid-appealing" and we are still liable for a lot of money potentially. Nice try. Make a general audience option.
@YouTube@SusanWojcicki Also, YouTube was COPPA compliant by being a PG-13 site with an age screen so you decide to brag that kids were on a public site not intended for them...and after paying your fine, pass the buck onto us...the YOU of youtube. Thanks.
@YouTube@SusanWojcicki We might "know our audience best" but For Kids vs Not is not giving us a proper rating system and the risk for messing up is too great. Fix YouTube kids by only allowing actual businesses there, implement an age screen on YouTube public, and give us a General Audience option.
@FTC This is still far too broad and does not take into consideration intent vs appeal. Adults make animations, like bright colors, like music. There is only the option to mark content on YouTube as "for kids" or "not" which is not good enough.
@MatPatGT Considering most of them don't have cell phones, are they reading the comments? Also, shouldn't we also rage against YouTube because there is a clause that allows General Audience in the FTC rules...but Youtube fails to mention that.
