YouTube's Restricted Mode is Anti-LGBTQ
This week news dropped that YouTube's age "restricted mode" filtered out any content labeled as LGBTQ. This is concerning because this restricts questioning kids and teens from accessing educational LGBT resources that exist to make them feel less confused and alone. Restricted mode replaces YouTube's previous system used to filter out inappropriate content in public schools. Unfortunately, young people living in conservative areas or homophobic environments might only feel safe and comfortable seeking out LGBT resources at school if their internet use is closely monitored at home. The fact that LGBTQ people's lives and existences are considered "inappropriate" is deeply troubling and stigmatizing.
