zzeennoolloo 11/19/19 12:05:23 PM #1:	Long story short, the FTC wants money (hence the $170 million fine against Youtube as well as threatening to SUE Youtubers who don't classify their videos correctly with a $42,000 fine. I am NOT exaggerating when I say they will sue people for that money. In this video below, one of the main FTC guys within the first minute of the video below says he will SUE anyone... this includes casual Youtube users who have gameplay clips of something like Super Mario Odyssey and Crash 3 on their Youtube channels and don't classify them as "for kids". The video also shows what the FTC considers "for kids" and given the way the law is written, ALL video games technically fall under "for kids only" given their legal definitions (the way it's written even something like Grand Theft Auto can fall under what the FTC considers "for kids only". The video below goes over this and even shows off the legal laws the FTC has in place regarding this). On a side note, some people are asking WHY the FTC is doing this now and not before given how Youtube has been in existence since 2006 or so. The president appointed brand new people to the FTC last year. The FTC wants lots of money (hence the reason why the fines are an expensive $42,000 per video in violation). I'll leave it up to you to draw your own conclusions: (it should be noted that a very large percentage of content on Youtube might be no longer available once 2020 starts, especially a good amount of gaming content and whatever else you might watch). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0veLrwd9CK4 This news article below goes over all the new people appointed to high positions in the FTC last year: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-ftc-congress/senate-confirms-first-trump-picks-for-federal-trade-commission-idUSKBN1HX3HZ This shows all the people in charge of the FTC right now (almost all of them gained their new positions during May 2018): https://www.ftc.gov/about-ftc/commissioners If you have videos of ANY kind on Youtube (even casual game clips or something you uploaded for your own amusement) you might want to be very careful on how you classify them since one mistake can lead to being sued by the FTC for $42,000). Also, if there are any videos you enjoy watching on Youtube, you might not want to get too attached to them. --- Creator of the most talked about 500 post topic on the Wii U board, the most populated board on Gamefaqs. http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/631516-wii-u/72708411 <cite>zzeennoolloo posted [p:930371332] in The FTC at...

It's not a question of "if" they will fine people $42,000, it's "WHO are they going to fine $42,000?". They want money and their threats of suing aren't really threats, they are promises. People are going to get fined and considering something like South Park (which isn't for kids) is considered a kids thing by the FTC, there are going to be a lot of innocent people getting sued because they classified their video as "not for kids" and the FTC decides to disagree based upon their own written laws. <cite>SavageGlum100 posted [p:930372149] in The FTC at...

Still, from my understanding, the statement that no matter what you label it you're under scrutiny still stands. They'll still look at videos labeled as "for kids" and deem if it's a correct labeling or not. Plus it's just not an attractive option in general because it's not gonna be shown to people. It does more than just cut revenue, it prevents it being advertised and showing up on recommended lists.
