YouTube Kids, the supposedly child-friendly version of YouTube that’s been shown to often play host to troves of slop content and disturbing videos, apparently was showing videos from British conspiracy theorist David Icke, a guy who believes reptilian aliens secretly control the world and are responsible for the Holocaust.According to a Saturday report in Business Insider, searching for the term “UFO” on YouTube kids turned up a video purporting “to show a UFO shooting at a chemtrail.” The suggested followups for that video featured a number of Icke’s clips, including a nearly five-hour lecture on how aliens built the pyramids and secretly run the planet through a ruling class extraterrestrial-human hybrids. The video also delves into a number of other conspiracy theories, including claims Freemasons indulge in human sacrifice and President John F. Kennedy was assassinated by his own government.
According to Business Insider, “Two other conspiracy theory videos by Icke appeared in the related videos, meaning it was easy for children to quickly go from watching relatively innocent videos about toys to conspiracy content.”
When I read that headline I thought it sounded more like a Steemit for kids. Am I right?

Hi @contentjunkie
There is a branch in government purposefully spreading false information to make true news seem more untruthful. It has become difficult distinguishing between what they bring out and what actually is the truth.
I have summarized some of the best sources I have been able to find of people literally risking their lives to bring the world the truth. It has been written to serve as a bookmark.

I have actually blocked youtube for kids and youtube in general at home. I think it is just crap curated to train kids to be zombies. In my weekly history check most of the crap my daughter saw was of adults playing with kids toys. Then I found some sexual content involving incest and other perversions.
I thought it was safe but no it is just more crap to corrupt and dumb down children.
My 4 year old has been angry with me for getting rid of the family tablet as she can no longer play dots. But I cant have her exposed to that level of oddball garbage.
