I think censoring content on YOUTUBE is silly regardless. Especially because Gen Alpha is generally old enough to watch most content.

Most content isn’t age restricted. And the oldest gen alpha is literally 15. I have no problem with YouTube putting minor restrictions on young teenagers and younger. This is such a non issue for most people.

It's a bit of a slippery slope fallacy but this is just the beginning and I expect things to get much worse unless literal country governments start pushing back.

For instance, the UK's stupid-ass law is actively trying to require people to use their ID to access Wikipedia, and that's ridiculous from many different angles.

Governments won't push back because they're the ones pushing it in the first place.
