James Bridle : The nightmare videos of children's YouTube — and what's wrong with the internet today


James Bridle at TED2018
The nightmare videos of children's YouTube — and what's wrong with the internet today (transcript)
Summary
When I was a child, my mother often said to me, "Stop watching TV!!" Recently, It seems to be different. I've heard from my friend who has children. She always says to her children, "Stop watching Youtube, watch TV instead !!"
She knows that Youtube automatically takes children to weird places which means the programs of violent or sexual.

The speaker tells us that there are parents who don't know that and those programs now can't be stopped because figuring out who's making those is impossible. If they are erased, someone ups them again.
He suggests that we don't think that technology can solve those problems, but we have to know them properly, start to address them and all people are responsible.

People want to watch Youtube for free. Companies want to get advertisement charge and sell products. Parents want children to be quiet. Someone wants videos they made to be known by many people in the world.

I appreciate that my mother forbade me from watching TV and playing games when I was a child.
