Racists are recruiting kids on YouTube!
Susan Wojcicki, CEO of YouTube
White supremacists are using the Internet to recruit children and YouTube is helping them! Every day, YouTube serves an unending stream of racist and fringe conspiracy videos to vulnerable children. Each time a child watches one radicalizing video, the algorithm often serves up more just like it, luring children to adopt racist ideology and join dangerous groups. There is too much of this content for YouTube to moderate -- 500 hours uploaded every minute; But YouTube can stop streaming hate to our kids.
Tell YouTube to fix their algorithm and stop the stream of hate.

White supremacist movements are massively exploding in the US, facilitated by in part by YouTube where vulnerable young people are recruited and radicalized. More than half of kids 8 and up have reported watching YouTube every day, and Youtube is cited by researchers as a primary source for radicalization of young people online. The source of this problem is YouTube’s algorithm-based recommendations and default auto-play feature.
As parents, we ask YouTube to: fix algorithm-driven recommendations to stop promoting hate and stop default auto-play. Please make the right decision to keep kids safe from white supremacy, radicalization, and violence.
