Have never, ever, ever understood YouTube's insistence on keeping comments. There are business/SEO/ideological reason for having them but they can't outweigh the downside, which is that the potential for abuse is unmatched. (Hold my beer, Twitter). https://t.co/O4UMlZ577w

Recently, there have been some deeply concerning incidents regarding child safety on YouTube. Nothing is more important to us than ensuring the safety of young people on the platform. More on the steps we're taking to better protect children & families: https://t.co/5ZYaMrMpsI

Breaking: YouTube is disabling all comments on videos featuring young children as it attempts to head off an organised ring of paedophiles who were using its site to trade clips of young girls in states of undress.

Last week I wrote an article about paedophiles in YouTube comments. Since then we've had loads of complaints from other YouTubers for highlighting the issue because it could scare away advertisers and hurt their income. Which... isn't a healthy community? https://t.co/GTKET8wM8C

This is a real thing that has been happening, while half the British media was focusing on a creepy doll. https://t.co/gexOqXY758

I would actually say the YouTubers were right in general to be worried. It's not just about scaring off advertisers, it's a fear of YouTube doing exactly what it's done today and shirking all of its responsibility on to the industry of people who depend on it for income. https://t.co/LXc7tPJhKe

It was already my opinion that YouTube should disable comments on channels featuring children and it appears they are going to do just that. https://t.co/xEDavZM20Z

수익이 감소한다며 반발하는 유튜버 들도 있다고는 하지만, 어떤 댓글이 달릴지 모르는 공간에 아이들의 동영상을 올리고 싶은 부모는 없을 것. 소비자 위축이야 말로 큰 리스크인 유튜브 입장에서는 당연한 일.

YouTube should do the only smart move in this situation and delete all channels run by kids and put a rule in place that you must be 18 to start a channel. Pedos are the only people watching children on YouTube, everyone else just thinks they're annoying.https://t.co/X9vREqlLbA
