YouTube Updates Teen Safety Tools

YouTube Updates Teen Safety Tools

YouTube has announced some new features as a part of teen safety tools.

First off, YouTube has partnered with the American Psychological Association (APS) on the release of a new parents guide, which includes “evidence-based recommendations to support teens’ healthy video-viewing habits.”

As per the APA:

YouTube’s Latest Updates Teen Safety Tools –

  • New safeguards on repeated topical exposure: Last year, YouTube implemented limits on content related to body image and social aggression, due to concerns that over-exposure to these elements could lead to negative behaviors in teens. It’s now also added financial advice, content that highlights delinquency, and content that depicts teens taking part in cruel pranks to its listing of video types that will be limited for teens.
  • Increasing the prominence of ’Take a Break” reminders: YouTube’s also making its “Take a Break” reminders harder to ignore for teens, by expanding them to take up the full screen. These reminders will also now be switched on by default for teens under 18, triggering every 60 minutes, while YouTube’s also adding a default bedtime reminder, which will be set for 10pm. Users can modify the specifics.
  • Parental advisory based on viewing history: Finally, YouTube’s also adding a new element to its supervised experience in its Family Center which will give parents email notifications about their child’s viewing activity, as well as links to resources to support conversations between parents and teens about responsible content creation.
