Youtube’s A.I. For Detecting Underage Content: Could it Stop Livestream Abuse?
YouTube just proved they can get 90% of this livechat abuse to stop from happening.
Currently the AI seems to be crawling around looking for thumbnails with children in them and after it found one it restricts their complete channels from having any comment section on their videos.
If they implement the same AI to check if children are involved streaming live through the thumbnails they can easily restrict their livechats without a report needed.
Also they can auto ban many of these perverts if the AI actually checks the messages sent in livechats.
I tested the AI und used 4 triggerwords without context and got a brand banned within 10 minutes.
I used "Feet , twerk , dare , sexy"
If this works for comment sections why do i see these words 24/7 being used targeting children in livestreams????
They showed they can make this change but now we need to force them to implement it.
They destroyed most family vlogger channels overnight.
Just do a YT search for "Family Vlog" and see those channels got all there comment sections deleted.
Here is an example of a channel affected:
Earls Family Vlogs YouTube Channel
Another one is that ASMR girl "life with mak" her channel has been flagged and has no comments anymore.
But then i check that drag kid "Desmond is Amazing" and that one is still unaffected.
Desmond is Amazing YouTube Channel
It’s a lot of speculating right now but the proof is out there, we are just missing the details.
Here is where all you guys come in and make a difference, as i on my own can just do a little bit to dig as deep as is needed.
I just wanted to get this off my mind because researching would take days and i think posting a quick update of my personal thought on this can inspire others to continue this research.
I feel sorry for all the innocent channels that got affected but they will get it back after the YouTube appeals procedure.
YouTube is showing what they are capable of and i hope the focus will be more onto what they are doing right.
If they want to prevent public outrage i would suggest a YouTube spokesperson to hold like a press conference every now and then
It is really crazy that they have not held one yet on the topic of #YouTubeWakeUp.
A huge company like them really need to be more open as their actions right now are affecting millions of people.
This written piece still has a lot of loose ends but this is what is on my mind right now and i want to keep the discussion going while it is still a hot topic.
I would be happy to receive feedback and answer questions in the comment section here and thank you for reading.
Like u said most important thing right now is communication. The community needs some discrepancy about the current issues and the future of the platform, and most of all to believe them, that they actually tackling the issue of child exploitation. Passionate and beautiful piece.
Technically as a YouTube user i am not even informed at all.
Why should i have to make a Twitter account to get information i refuse to do that.
Also reading actual news reports have no statements at all from their side while so far this is the biggest scandal of 2019.
YouTube is now pulling in over 1.8 billion users every month and they deserve at least some real response.
And by that i mean an actual person speaking about the issue and not an anonymous person tweeting behind their keyboard.
Those tweets even look like a copy paste they have been using for years.
This appears to be the most we can expect as an "official statement"
