Skip to the 1 hour mark to see what all ISP's should be forced to introduce and why parents should be educated on how to enable blocks.

The software has now been updated to the latest one, and I am planning on making a follow up within the next month or so, still got a lot to deal with but it gives an idea on the ease at which things can be controlled at home, without government intervention or loss of privacy.

Although it wouldn't stop kids seeing comments, there is another option in the software where you can make it "Safe for work" essentially which is what holiday parks etc use which disables the ability to make or see the comments on YouTube.

That sort of thing could be implemented onto home routers, kids phones etc and if a kid is found with a phone that is not classed as a "kids phone" the parents get fined.

It's quite simple really but that won't make money for the companies who are taking your data, monitoring everything you do on the internet via the likes of Yoti etc and from selling you access to a VPN in order to get around the restrictions they are pushing to be implemented in order to make money from VPN sales.

The amount of bad VPN's hitting the markets is astronomical and I am telling you now, if you have kids keep an eye on what VPN they install, because they will install one, because there are ones forcing ad's to be watched, ones which are turning the mic's and cameras on, on devices and recording the user's, all this OSA and Social Media ban is doing is exposing the kids to more danger, but hey what do those with common sense know.
Heard someone say this morning that the only way to stop children accessing YouTube on the TV app is via the router.

Good point about bad VPN's, children trying to circumvent the ban are likely to go for the first free one they come across.

From September schoolchildren will be taught about the pitfalls of social media.

I just noticed that it includes "YouTube", since when has YT been "Social Media" ?
Its utterly ridiculous, my grandaughter loves all the stuff like Bluey, Peppa Pig etc that she can watch on YouTube. Its full of proper kids stuff.
Are there any ads on YouTube Kids?
