News about launching a new YouTube app for kids

A report released on the Buzzidil website revealed YouTube's intention to launch a new children's application. The new app is a modified version of YouTube that does not include controversial content. Videos posted on the new YouTube will only include those announced by a group of company experts selected from specific channels.


The move, which has not been officially announced yet, follows multiple complaints from the YouTube algorithm that proposes videos to children. The suggested segment algorithm sometimes attracts a lot of views towards extreme content. But it came to the dissemination of false information and conspiracy theories and even false information about the shape of land and life on the moon and the lives of strange creatures.

A lot of criticism has been directed at YouTube over the past year for hosting the extreme, extreme content that advertisers place in a strong environment to attract views to their ads, even though the company has made great efforts to combat the contents of child exploitation, including removal of advertising material from millions of videos, Limitations on the age of viewers on restricted content, as well as increasing the number of staff working on the platform.

The company also announced last month that it would use Wikipedia to help identify facts about video files that broadcast conspiracy theories. Wikipedia said they were not informed of the decision at all.

The spokesman for YouTube has not confirmed its steps so far and has not denied the report, saying only that the company is doing its best to provide content suitable for children.

On the other hand, the report commented on many specialists and praised the company's attempt to revise the content to suit children, but some stressed that only parents are entitled to choose the content that suits their child and the attitudes and ethics and beliefs of the family and not employed by YouTube.
