There is a huge amount of content to be found on YouTube. However, as you have probably discovered many times, it is not always suitable for children under the age of 18. Since YouTube itself has policies for uploading videos, most of these will be posts that are characterized by foul language or inappropriate video topics such as natural disasters and the like. In order for YouTube to comply with the relevant EU directives on media and audiovisual services, users will have to log in, and sometimes this will only be possible with a credit card or ID card.

The entire process will be carried out in such a way that videos will be evaluated by artificial intelligence. As soon as a video is marked as inappropriate, the author can of course appeal and request a review. YouTube videos will, as before, be possible to watch without logging in. However, if a user is under 18 years old, comes across a marked video and YouTube's systems cannot reliably determine their age, they may be asked to submit one of the above documents . In our opinion, such a procedure will apply, for example, to newly created accounts. This procedure cannot be bypassed even in situations where the user could start a video on a third-party platform. In this case, they will be redirected to YouTube to log in. It is currently not entirely clear under what circumstances YouTube will require a credit card or ID card to verify the user's age. However, this obligation will certainly be very uncomfortable for many of them, since showing a credit card or ID card in order to watch a video is probably not very adequate. But how else do you want to verify your age? We'll see how this feature works in the future.
Inappropriate content will be removed beforehand. So what is age verification for?
Pro watch the video How to properly prune grape vines do I have to give a credit card???
Violent videos, videos with sex will be removed beforehand. topics, etc. (they don't even get on YT). However, not every video that meets these principles is suitable for a child under the age of 18 – foul language, natural disasters, etc. It will be interesting to see how the AI will evaluate it, and certainly this process will not be without labor pains.
So xxx million music videos that contain sexual themes will be reduced if they are not explicitly shown :D
And natural disasters and from 18+? Hmmm :D
mainly because we have been reporting the videos of the arrogant idiot Majek bullying city policemen who are just doing their job for a year, and YouTube is not doing anything about it
Unfortunately, children will still find a way to watch inappropriate videos
Caption: We will probably soon be able to watch YouTube only with payment card or ID verification
The sentence in the article: It will be possible, as before, to watch YouTube videos without logging in.
:)
so it goes to psychiatry.
Well, of course YouTube can forget about it 😁 he won't get a citizen or a card, I'll just stop watching it :-)
Someone just wrote under the YouTube video about this that it is said to be against the law, that it should not be verified like this, and that they don't even have the right to do so.
I don't know, I won't take an opinion, but it's stupid. We had to discuss something in class, and it required age verification.
That's great, they're going to tell us what to watch, where to smoke, where to drink, where to gather…..what's he going to do? I've experienced this once before and it's back :-/
Yes, without signing in, you'll be watching YouTube like a kid, so limited.
Strange, when I play a video on my PC, a message appears: confirm your age - verify, then it asks for either a credit card or an identity document - ID card or passport, etc. (and I am logged in to my Google account = also on YouTube (born 1985). And when I start the same video on my mobile (on both PC and mobile, the browser Chrome) it works without any problems, there's just a warning that it may have inappropriate content... So I don't understand.
I do not understand that. It's one big censorship, what are we going to do... it's just that they have complete control over us, so that they simply know everything in detail. And their "we are protecting little children from an evil and cruel world" is just a stupid excuse for it. This is not even possible!? The theory that it only happens with new accounts - I've had mine for almost 10 years and they still want me. It's terrible, I tried to work around it, but I can't :((.
All they care about is getting our payment card numbers, social security numbers, location of permanent residence, which bank we have our account with and also our xsicht. Our age alone is of no use to them without this additional data. It's interesting that Google, which owns YouTube, searches everything for me, even if it should be, for example, a video like: dog fuck horny bitch, and it doesn't solve the fact that I need 10 years...
So here it is. Videos marked as 18+ must be verified via credit card or ID/driver's license - you'll have to wait up to 3 days. Of course, the Google corporation benefits from this, which obtains your data. Comrades from the EU came up with it nicely...
I don't have the right to do that by law
This is really nonsense what Google came up with. More security than porn sites, where you usually just have to click Yes, I was 18, and there is a million times more dangerous content than YouTube is allowed to have. In addition, there is an age restriction on YouTube, for example, for a documentary that also ran on television (specifically on CT, which pays a lot of attention to age restrictions) and was not age-restricted. I'm starting to think that Google has a different intention with our personal data than it presents, and protecting children from dangerous content is just an excuse.
