YouTube and Age Inappropriate Content

Category : Parental Control

Often YouTube content is hilarious and extremely entertaining to young and old.

However, there is also a lot of stuff there, that is relatively easy to stumble across that we wouldn’t want our kids to see.

We’ve come across a YouTube safety feature (that we haven’t tried yet).

Still, until we or you test this, we wouldn’t leave young children with free access to YouTube.

Is there other or better ways to keep inappropriate YouTube content from minors?
