content: How is it "common sense"? This is just Jewgle joining the nanny state. The idea that kids are "minors" with no responsibility until 18 years old is ass-backwards, and extending childhood far longer than it should be. 15 year olds aren't delicate flowers that need protection. Kids used to start working at 12 years old, and be married or set off to the army before 16. Not only that, privileges and responsibilities are piled onto kids all at once, rather than doled out over years of allowing kids to make mistakes and learn. Some 15-year-old kid playing video games, video blogging/discussing the news, or chatting with followers via video shouldn't be censored by Jewgle any more than it should be censored by the government. If the kids parents don't want to allow the kid on YouTube, then that's the parents responsibility. EDIT: seems like people here are invoking the magic pedo card (compare race card), as if porn is the only thing that kids under 18 would ever want to stream. All pornographic content is banned on YouTube. You could argue the rules should be stricter for under-18, with sexually suggestive content being included in what's not allowed, and that's fine. But that type of stuff should be dealt with separately. Banning everyone under 18 from streaming is using a sledgehammer to do a tweezer's job.
