Google was not forced to create YouTube Kids. Instead, YouTube Kids was developed as a response to growing concerns about children's online privacy and content safety[1][2]. The platform was designed to provide a more controlled environment for children to watch videos, with parental controls and content filtering[2].
## Key Context
The creation of YouTube Kids came amid increasing scrutiny of how the platform handles children's content and privacy. In 2019, Google and YouTube were fined $170 million by the Federal Trade Commission for illegally collecting personal information from children without parental consent[1]. This settlement required YouTube to:
- Develop a system for channel owners to identify child-directed content
- Provide notice about data collection practices
- Obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting children's personal information[1]
**Parental Controls**
YouTube Kids offers features that allow parents to:
- Set content level settings
- Control search functionality
- Block specific videos
- Manage their child's viewing experience through Family Link[2]
The platform was essentially a proactive measure to address privacy concerns and provide a more child-friendly version of YouTube, rather than being a direct result of being forced to create such an app.

the amount of narcissism in modern society is crazy. who the hell wants to watch strangers lip sync and dance to songs?
i know tiktok is more than that, but that was its original purpose.

These old dinosaur ass nnïggas scared of TikTok. They gon drown in the wave. Stupid mfs don’t realize all the trends, styles, topics etc is coming from there. Mfs rather drink the water from downstream instead of get it from the source
i admit my flabbiness regularly! im not ashamed of it, unlike some posters who cant face reality.
i had a good run
None of this is true. All of these things have their place
Streamers exist and make money, podcasters exist and make money
Calling Twitter archaic while it's acts as the most impactful media platform is insane. The same Twitter that was harnessed to get a president elected

Y'all keep making this about
and it's making you look like unserious children. Some of you wanna be down 40 year old nikkas trying to hard to be cool Tik Tok is great, and it's algorithm is unmatched, but the shyt is Chinese spyware. I can't be mad at Americans hitting the
What's funny is I think a fair trade would be the best for all parties. If China wants Tik Tok here they should allow Facebook over there
but we know China would never go for that shyt. I wonder why?Too many Americans willing to sell away their shyt while getting crumbs in return. No different than how the Chinese are buying up so much real estate over here and nikkas coming from all over the world fukkin up the job markets

Nah. I think it’s the fact dinosaurs stuck in their ways and don’t wanna learn something new. It’s not just a kids app tho, it’s just “current”. Not only that but it’s waaay more sophisticated. It handles the broad strokes and niche content of what a user is into impressively. And ppl are making bread off the TikTok shop, and lives and all that other stuff. It’s way more lucrative than the other SMY'all keep making this about
As President of the Flabby and Sick coli brigade salute.i admit my flabbiness regularly! im not ashamed of it, unlike some posters who cant face reality.

Except the fact that the dinosaurs argument is a fallacy. Tik Tik is not a kids app like y'all are portraying it and it makes you look more out of touch than anything. I don't know a single person under 25 that uses Tik Tok more than my 60 year old mama
I already said Tik Tok is a great app and no one is doing what it does better. But again, the shyt is Chinese spyware
Why is Facebook banned in China? Care to address that?
Y'all keep forcing this to be about the quality of the app when it's about a foreign entity, that could reasonably be categorized as an enemy, having unfettered access to American data
