YouTube Clamps Down on Sexually Suggestive Content
YouTube announced earlier this week that it would further restrict videos containing sexually suggestive content. They will be stricter about the types of content that causes a video to be flagged for “Over 18″ and also demote the video’s placement on YouTube’s Top Favorites and Most Viewed pages.
This is good news for parents. The new policy combined with Safe Eyes will make YouTube safer for kids. Our recently released YouTube filtering feature can restrict the viewing of YouTube’s “Over 18″ clips. The protection in Safe Eyes is effective even if a child attempts to circumvent YouTube’s voluntary age based system by saying they are over 18 when creating an account.
The content crack down will also extend beyond sexually suggestive videos to include animal abuse, drug abuse, and bomb making.

This is great news! I’ve been annoyed that YouTube hasn’t been upholding their policy. I hate sexually suggestive content of any kind myself, not to mention the harm it does to children and teens.
