A Tech Transparency Project investigation found that despite YouTube's claimed updates to its firearm policy, gun-related videos remain accessible to minors, highlighting enforcement failures.
YouTube's search autofill feature even directed a minor to restricted gun content, demonstrating ongoing accessibility despite age restrictions supposedly implemented on June 18.
The TTP stated, 'YouTube may have generated some positive headlines by promising to restrict certain kinds of gun content for minors, but... it is not effectively implementing these changes.'
As scrutiny on Big Tech rises, the Senate is considering the Kids Online Safety Act, which would require social media apps to better protect minors from harmful content.
