YouTube’s Algorithm Keeps Suggesting Home Videos of Kids to Pedophiles

Irina Raicu, Director of Internet Ethics, quoted in KPIX5.

“I think if they really mean that their goal is to protect children, they’re not doing nearly enough, and they’re not moving quickly enough,” Raicu said. “Should there be something that YouTube does to inform people that this is what’s going to happen? I absolutely think they do have that responsibility.”
