YouTube provided an update on steps it is taking to prevent viewers under 18 from seeing inappropriate content.
The Google-owned video site said n a blog post Tuesday that it already encourages users and creators to age-restrict their own content when appropriate, and its trust and safety team applies age restrictions while reviewing content for videos that are not appropriate for those under 18.
Age-restricted videos can only be viewed by people signed into YouTube on the account of someone 18 or older, and those under 18 are redirected to age-appropriate content.
YouTube said it plans to build on its use of machine learning during the content review process with the aim of having it automatically apply age-restrictions, adding that people who upload videos that are labeled as such can appeal the decision if they do not agree.
