A House subcommittee is investigating YouTube Kids, saying the Google-owned video service feeds children inappropriate material in âa wasteland of vapid, consumerist contentâ 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 parentsâ 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 creatorsâ self-regulation to decide what videos make it on to the platform, according to the letter from the committeeâs chairman, Illinois Democrat Raja Krishnamoorthi.
