You are here
A recent study reports that 81% of parents with children age 11 or younger say they have let their child watch videos on YouTube. Of the parents surveyed, 34% say they allow their children to watch YouTube regularly, and 47% reported they allow it on occasion. Also interesting is that of these parents, 61% reported that their children have come across unsuitable content on the platform. The study comes in light of a Federal Trade Commission complaint by advocacy groups that YouTube illegally collects data from kids to target ads.
