YouTube said Tuesday that it has updated its technology to enable the
tech giant to better enforce its age restriction policies. The company
has been criticized and penalized for its policies and architecture
that displayed harmful content to kids and violated children's data
privacy. The company is announcing three new changes: It will begin
using machine learning to automatically apply age restrictions to
content on its platform around the world. It's using technology to
identify age-restrictive content so that when viewers discover
age-restricted videos embedded on most third-party websites, they will
now be required to log in to watch those videos in order to verify
their age. It will start to request that some users in Europe verify
their age with a valid ID or credit card, in response to new EU
regulations, like the Audiovisual Media Services Directive.
