Google to boost privacy protection for children
The Metro says: A host of changes will be made to Google and YouTube’s settings in an effort to boost privacy for children.
The technology giant says the move is designed to give youngsters ‘more control over their digital footprint’.
YouTube videos uploaded by kids will be set to private by default, meaning they can choose who views them at first, though they can adjust the settings if they want to.
Among a number of changes, the video-sharing site will also provide young users with bedtime and screen break reminders, while also turning off autoplay features.
