Today Show's Vicky Nguyen Breaks Down YouTube Children's Video Changes

I caught this story this morning on Today about changes that YouTube is making to its platform when it comes to videos that creators tag as being made specifically for kids.

The main changes include doing away with comments, no more live chat, no push notifications, not allowing these videos to be added to a playlist, and ending ads that are based off of browser history.

Jim Steyer, CEO of Common Sense Media applauds the changes as a step in the right direction.

The changes however don't create any type of filter to keep kids away from videos not tagged for children.

Check out the full report below from Vicky Nguyen.
