A House subcommittee is investigating YouTube Kids, saying the Google-owned video service feeds children inappropriate material in “a wasteland of vapid, consumerist content” so it can serve them ads.
The inquiry comes despite Google agreeing to pay $170 million in 2019 to settle allegations that YouTube collected personal data on children without their parents’ consent.
In a letter sent Tuesday to YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki, the U.S. House Oversight and Reform subcommittee on economic and consumer policy said YouTube does not do enough to protect kids from material that could harm them. Instead it relies on artificial intelligence and creators’ self-regulation to decide what videos make it on to the platform, according to the letter from the committee’s chairman, Illinois Democrat Raja Krishnamoorthi.
And despite changes in the wake of the 2019 settlement, the letter notes, YouTube Kids still shows ads to children. But instead of basing it on kids’ online activity, it now targets it based on the videos they are watching.

Why are they specifying only the Kid's section of YouTube?

Fucking freaky videos have been slipping through the cracks. Haven't you heard?

So what, ((lawmakers)) want to make more laws to justify lining the pockets of government employees? Said lawmakers probably don't care as much about children seeing dumb shit on YouTube so much as they care about their paychecks. Who do you think is paying for these endless "investigations" into crypto currency and in this case YouTube? YOU, the taxpayers are paying for it.
Parents should just not let their kids on the Internet, it would be better for everyone that way, probably.
Someone needs to stop these nig nog government employees.
Nogo Needs to be Stopped!

if it's possible to sustainably provide basic needs like food and housing and medical care for every human, i want that done.
there are a few issues in the personal realm which the state has a legitimate reason to act on (e.g. Fair Housing Act in response to neighborhood segregation in the United States). for everything else, people should look after themselves and those they love.
capitalism doesn't offer useful choices.

In political philosophy, I follow Evola, Hans-Dietrich Sander, and, to a lesser degree, DeMaistre. In economy, Chesterton, Belloc, etc.
Evola makes a very good case for the Traditional system from an occult perspective. "As above, so below". But he also makes a good general case for a pyramidal structure in society: Man as the king of his family, the village headman as the king of the village, the local noble as the king of the local land, etc. all the way up to the Emperor, as living God (this aspect can't really be explained in short, so let's just say he is to represent the Sun-God).
Thus, everyone knows where he stands, who he has duties towards, who he leads, who he is bound to obey. But at the same time, everything is local enough to not go crazy - people rarely wish to live next to an abject slave. It also provides a lot of freedom, because feudal governments by definition aren't centralized and thus relatively weak in enforcement.
Sander makes a similar point, mainly adding a more materialistic reason to the supremacy of the Emperor over the Priesthood and showing the good example of the Staufer dynasty.
DeMaistre makes the negative argument - why Republicanism and democracy is bad - inevitably resulting in tyranny of the masses voting themselves more benefits, with no regard to general welfare, inevitable orgies of bloodshed akin to the French revolution, etc.
The economic thinkers I mentioned argue for Distributism - "Three Acres and a Cow". Small-scale agriculture as the center of the economy for a sensible outlook - there is no other industry without agriculture, and added stability. Craftsmen to be organized in local guild structures, ordered by profession, not managerial/worker status, ensuring everyone can make an independent living as long as he tries, but the living varies based on his skill.

Penises are shrinking and genitals becoming malformed because of pollution, an environmental scientist has warned in a new book detailing the challenges facing human reproduction.
Dr Shanna Swan writes that humanity is facing an "existential crisis" in fertility rates as a result of phthalates, a chemical used when manufacturing plastics that impacts the hormone-producing endocrine system.
One study published in 2017 found that sperm levels among men in Western countries had dropped by more than 50% over the past four decades after examining 185 studies involving close to 45,000 healthy men.
Dr Swan believes that the rapidly decreasing fertility rate means that most men will be unable to produce viable sperm by 2045.

Someone tell Alex Jones
A graphic novel for children from the wildly popular “Captain Underpants” series is being pulled from library and book store shelves after its publisher said it “perpetuates passive racism.”
The book under scrutiny is 2010′s “The Adventures of Ook and Gluk” by Dav Pilkey, who has apologized, saying it “contains harmful racial stereotypes” and is “wrong and harmful to my Asian readers.”
The book follows about a pair of friends who travel from 500,001 B.C. to 2222, where they meet a martial arts instructor who teaches them kung fu and they learn principles found in Chinese philosophy.
That sucks.
Meh. White writing about Oriental^W Asian^W East Asian culture tends to be cringe anyway.

Daily Show, The Colbert Report to name a few are some of the shows that influence people on how they should react to the US government. Comedy, for that matter, has become one of the most efficient tools of getting through to people and telling idiots THEY'RE WRONG. Is it the same in your country? Is comedy just for "fun" where you live or do you sometimes go over the things you laughed at?

Tyrants hate laughter directed at them. Just ask Xinnie the Pooh and Ra-ra-ras-Putin.
The only role comedy has in politics is on twitter.
Liberal political late night comedy paved the way for all those unfunny right wingers like Steven Crowder and the entire right wing alternative media which in turn spawned the leftist grifter twitch streamer ecosystem. Memes over politics has been the dominant political discourse for two decades now. Most posters here cannot remember or even imagine
what the landscape was like before that. People who "like politics" would likely fall asleep watching 90s CSPAN. So, thanks a lot, Jon Stewart.

>>7 Even if the people don't really make the decisions as much anymore, they certainly do justify them, and so they need to pander to them. I mean, we're on a platform that gives feedback as soon as anyone gives two shits, so as humans we're not totally immune to it either.
The marshmallow test, or Stanford marshmallow experiment, is pretty straightforward. A child is placed in a room with a marshmallow. They are told if they can manage not to eat the marshmallow for 15 minutes, they'll get a second marshmallow, and be allowed to eat both.
This ability to delay gratification demonstrates cognitive abilities such as future planning, and it was originally conducted to study how human cognition develops; specifically, at what age a human is smart enough to delay gratification if it means a better outcome later.
Because it's so simple, it can be adjusted for animals. Obviously you can't tell an animal they'll get a better reward if they wait, but you can train them to understand that better food is coming if they don't eat the food in front of them straight away.
Some primates can delay gratification, along with dogs, albeit inconsistently. Corvids, too, have passed the marshmallow test.
Last year, cuttlefish also passed a version of the marshmallow test. Scientists showed that common cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) can refrain from eating a meal of crab meat in the morning once they have learnt dinner will be something they like much better - shrimp.
but can it pass the bechdel test???

The ruling Democratic Party of Japan has refused to support legislation that would outlaw the possession of child pornography on the grounds that it would infringe individuals' freedom of expression – although there has been a stepped-up police campaign against people that sell sexual images of children.
Twenty people were arrested this week for posting child pornography on a mobile phone web site that was set up by a 17-year-old high school student, while Japan was shocked earlier this year at the arrest of a mother who took indecent images of her infant son and sold them via the internet.
The National Police Agency said it received 4,486 complaints from the public of child pornography on the internet in 2009 and a record 650 people were charged with offences related to child pornography. Campaigners believe that represents the tip of the iceberg.
"We are urging all the political parties here to ban the possession of child pornography in the present session of parliament, but I am not at all optimistic that it will happen," said Keiji Goto, a lawyer and chairman of the Forum for Creating a Society That Does Not Tolerate Child Pornography.
Real human child pornography is a crime in Japan
Overseas media has written that something was misunderstood.
Opponents like Taro Yamada are afraid of the moral hazard of treating unrealistic content of a picture as a child's crime
.
The number of child crimes committed by third parties in Japan is far less than in other conservative countries.
According to police criminal data, most sex crimes against children in Japan are due to damage from parents.
Human rights issues in Japan are a culture of shame in society,
For a society where securing a normal social position is sought as the responsibility of an individual's efforts, caused by those who do not have the human rights of the individual, including those who do not have it or the accusations of sexually injured minors It is done.
Since the incidence does not change from the old days without animation content, animation does not matter
> According to police criminal data, most sex crimes against children in Japan are due to damage from parents.
So Japanese pedos like to have their own kids so they have vulnerable targets close at hand. Not sure how this improves the situation.

The old days of Tsutomu Miyazaki?
Reminder that the UN shitheels demanding that Japan clamp down on CP were themselves arrested for CP posession.
Besides, lolicon =/= actual CP, and I say this as someone who thinks child molesters should get the death penalty.

Only since 2014, and they are still finding ways around it. God bless those wacky perverts~
The microwave attack that took place at the American Embassy in Cuba between 2016 and 2018 is the work of aliens. The scientific ability is so high that I can only think of it as an alien weapon. It is an attack using microwave or nano weapons.
I am attacked in July 2018 and suffer from aftereffects. I am looking for help I am waiting for the person who understands.
The characteristic of this attack is that it can make the brain sound. When you wake up, the attack begins. Can show hallucinations. You can also attack the whole body.
aliens are heinously anus
Fuck the Han chinese. Fuck china. the govt is so racist and corrupt and Han chinese are so racist and dont give a shit about minority cultures. Fuck china. shithole country without dignity for its citizens
Hello, God damn Mongolian here.
China already reached their peak time. For near future, China will divided into their ethnic groups, I think. And their shitty wall will be broken.
I feel sorry for Uyghurs, Tibetians, And Tsahar Mongols in China.
you really think ethnic groups are the future of china?
damn, gotta convince more, cuz when u say peak time, what do u mean? economically or from a power-distribution PoV or wh00t?
ppl, how bout some real opinions.
China still got some pretty bad-add potential. Any politic or econ majors got some mainstream academic opinion to share?
Americans are brainwashed into thinking china is evil and capitalism is great and death free, both those ideas are lies.
The people arent evil and the people cant be blamed for the politics that are imposed on them.
Sorry, chinese are okay, if a little strange to westerners.
As for ethnicity, I dont care, its time we stopped blaming people for the actions of their politicians and rallied round each other. Humans are the most important thing on this planet.
love you all
