Hello new subscribers! Since I can tell from my comments that many of you are YouTube Content Creators, it is important that you note the following: DISCUSSION IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT TO BE CONSTRUED AS LEGAL ADVICE. INDIVIDUALS INTERESTED IN THE LEGAL TOPICS DISCUSSED IN THIS VIDEO SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN COUNSEL.
And also...it's definitely not made for kids. :)
I know, I know, legal disclaimers and all, but they are important as every given person will have different circumstances and I can't advise folks directly on their own legal matters without a formal relationship. Thanks for watching!

Though the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has used specious reasoning and threats to intimidate content creators, YouTube is not without fault.
How are the actions taken by YouTube and Google indicative of a desire to simply avoid compliance entirely?
How does that choice result in the increased risk, stress, and panic we are seeing today?
And just how easy would it be for YouTube to correct course, comply with COPPA, and aid its users?
Gates are the new doors...in Virtual Legality.
