Why are all so worried about COPPA?

Since YouTube is not allowed to collect information from children (and 13 in the US) under the US COPPA law, YouTube has now added two options, either to make videos "especially for kids" or videos "not especially for kids".

It's always said that creators like Domtendo are having a big problem right now, but since Domtendo is not actually a kid's sexist (even though some of his viewers are children), he just "can't choose for kids," because "not specifically for Children "does not mean" only for adults "Even if one has a children's community to a large extent, but makes videos that are more intended for young people and adults, you can also" not specifically for children set "Finally, you can the community do not choose.

It has also been said many times that this rule would destroy Minecraft. But where is the problem? Since Minecraft is not exclusive for children, Minecraft videos are also simply "not designed for kids" and the problem is solved. Where is the problem "not especially for children" does not mean "only for teenagers and adults"

Maybe I do not quite understand it, if not you can explain it to me.

This refers to the games he plays. Something like Mario etc is of course made for children.

Ei

This is all about financial losses. That's the problem, children and young adults are virtually the skin-target groups of youtube!

vo

In particular, COPPA also targets videos that appeal to children, even if they are not marked as "For Children".

Sp

@ Yatsumi Can I say, synonymous not set, because there are also young people and adults who are interested in Mario Games.

Sp

@Zceta And why do all Minecraft or YouTuber say like Domtendo are "killed" by COPPA?

Ei

Every soup is cooked hotter than it is eaten.

Sp

@Zceta I mean, how do you even get on it, that something like this happens through COPPA?

Sp

@Zceta Would not that be illegal to write something about someone in the newspaper, which is true to 0%.

Vi

That does not matter to the US.

Sp

@ Yatsumi gets Domtendo because legal problems, if he states his videos are not specifically for children. (Which is true then)

Vi

Yes. Quite possible.

Sp

@ Yatsumi But with this statement, he is right, so where is the problem?

Vi

Nevertheless, the US can pose that as a danger to children.

Sp

@ Yatsumi But why does this American law also apply to Germans?

Vi

Because YouTube is an American corporation, as far as I know. There are also American kids watching German videos.

Sp

@ Yatsumi But then would have to make YouTube punishable and not the uploader. If there's such a stupid law in America, you just have to allow YouTube in America from 13 and good is'.

Vi

The question is who sticks to something like that? Btw is YouTube from 13: /

Sp

@ Yatsumi And why is there then this law if YouTube eig before 13 is only?

Vi

Because no one sticks to it.

Sp

@ Yatsumi Then YouTube would have to explicitly point out at the first start that information is stored by users, so you have to first confirm that you are also at least 13. If you. 13 year old still use YouTube, YouTube can't help it. But what am I actually talking about you. 13 year old, because I myself am only 14th XD

Vi

The question is, how do you want to prove that you are at least 13?

Vi

YouTube hands over responsibility to the Content Creator.

Sp

@lelschoisser Good, then it makes sense that non-American YouTuber can make punishable by an American law. But what I'm wondering, is not YouTube able to do anything better than create two "kids-specifically" and "not-especially-kids" selections? If a channel is considered to be special for children, then the comment function will also be disabled, which I also do not understand.

Vi

To understand that I have to wait a bit until I get new information ^^

Sp

@ Yatsumi What about the legal situation, if YouTube was not an American company?

Vi

Then I think the rules of the respective country would apply unless otherwise stated in the terms and conditions.

Sp

@ Yatsumi Can the YouTube staff, etc. Then not change their location so that the American laws no longer apply to them.

Vi

It is still founded in America. And they also have to comply with German laws, in return for which Germany accepts YouTube here.

Sp

@ Yatsumi The whole problem is actually due to the personalized advertising… Can YouTube not just happen to advertise, so they will still make high revenue.

Vi

Does not work because of the cookies. That means the advertisements are tailored to you.

Sp

@Yatsumi What specifically is cookies?

Vi

Cookies are werbeanyltics that you inevitably get from websites on your PC. This will give you Dan advertising tailored to you.

Sp

@ Yatsumi If I understood the law COPPA correctly, then cookies are not used any more anyway, because there are no more data saved by the YouTube user.

Vi

Then just advertising will be switched to fit the theme, if the AI recognizes that.
