There is growing concern about the increasing number of children under 13 creating content on YouTube using their parents' accounts, often without their knowledge.

These young individuals upload videos encompassing a wide range of topics, from personal details to discussions of sexual orientation. This raises questions about their exposure to such sensitive subjects at such a young age. Additionally, some children post content related to sexual assault, even if fictionalized, and make its release contingent upon receiving a certain number of likes. It is highly unlikely that parents are aware and consenting to this type of content being shared.

This situation presents several significant dangers:

• Lack of awareness: Children often lack the necessary awareness of the potential risks associated with sharing personal information online, making them vulnerable to online predators.
• Cyberbullying: Children's content can attract negative attention and lead to cyberbullying based on their immature opinions.

To address these concerns, the following solutions are proposed:

• Implement a more stringent age verification system for creating YouTube channels.
• Verify and remove channels managed by children under 13.
• Introduce a dedicated reporting button for suspected accounts managed by underage users.

These measures have the potential to safeguard countless children from the dangers of online predators and cyberbullying. It is strongly urged that these steps be considered to ensure the safety of young users on this platform.
