 The safety of children and families on the video platform has long been a concern that’s become more talked about recently, and YouTube says the restriction on the service’s live features is one of several ways that it’s taking precautions for younger audiences and content creators. YouTube covered this latest measure and others in a blog post which discussed what has and is being done to discuss YouTube’s younger demographic.

“We(Youtube) updated enforcement of our live streaming policy to specifically disallow younger minors from live streaming unless they are clearly accompanied by an adult YouTube’s blog post said. Channels not in compliance with this policy may lose their ability to live stream. We also launched new classifiers (machine learning tools that help us identify specific types of content) on our live products to find and remove more of this content.”

Youtube won’t let minors access any content of the live stream without any adult supervision.”The blog post in question listed the restriction of live streams from younger minors as the first of several changes that have been made over the past few months. Unless they’re accompanied by an adult, “younger minors” as the blog post describes them will not be allowed to live stream any longer, and channels that violate this rule run the risk of having that live streaming privilege removed.”
