Funny story as to why parental controls are kindof important...

We were flying down (to Disney, actually) and I set her up with headphones and her laptop (yes, she has her own laptop...knows basic HTML too...has since she was 5)...but, that's a side story.

Anyhow, I removed the block I had on youtube (simple hosts file redirect) so she could watch My Little Pony on the plane since they didn't block youtube, but they did block netflix.

I start doing stuff on my laptop, keeping a loose eye, and she asks me "Daddy, why is Applejack saying bad words?"

See, she had watched episodes, and just kept clicking on "next video" popups in youtube, and one of them was a "parody" video that was...well...I'm sure you can imagine.

Yeah, the rest of the flight we browsed youtube together. :p

The MLP video she found was a bit...worse. :p

Lets just say, it wouldn't surprise me if the person who made it was a regular on /b/
Feel free to visit Wil Heuser's channel (the maker of that vid) and watch the others...they get...worse. I just posted that becauseI think there is some sort of WDWMagic code

Youtube needs a content rating system....I hate to say it.

Or, at least to divide itself into "rated and unrated content"...

I second that everyday. They need it badly.

Something that will never be discussed here due to it's nature. ;)
The funny thing is, they could do it pretty easily using the same system they use to find illegal music / video uploads and flag users.

Mark everything as unrated, unless it comes from a Youtube partner that has a legal obligation with them (not just an ads partner, but a full partner) and then let their bot look for language.

Their Rule 34 bot has gotten very good as well. Years ago that stuff would slip through (wouldn't last very long, few hours or a day at most), but I haven't seen that stuff pop up in a while. Well, the graphic stuff.

Trust me, I have.

Titles can be as deceptive as "Surprise WDW Trip!":hungover:
