01:11 MIC DROP. 😎 In all seriousness. Thanks for watching. *If any of you have someone you know who might be affected by COPPA, watched a video on COPPA, or shared a video on COPPA, be sure to SHARE THIS GOOD NEWS WITH THEM!*

I still think “made for kids” and “not made for kids” is not enough options...

[faridaoba]

I can see why people were scared when they gave such vague rules beforehand

[oxitape]

YouTube should have an age rating system like C for children E for everyone and A for adults

[EagleBuilder]

I like how the information is presented and that he's trying to calm everyone down, but I hate how he keeps just labeling scared creators as "fear mongers."

By now I've watched dozens upon dozens of videos with widely varying opinions on how new COPPA enforcement on YouTube is being handled as a result of the settlement, but the people who were warning everyone about it being dangerous (some you were OBVIOUSLY roasting here, subtlety is apparently not your strong suit) is because the FTC and YouTube were both so VAGUE and it scared them!
I for one was terrified once the news was first reported, and I always do my research before forming an opinion so I stand by how worried I was. The information was entirely vague, and people simply presented the information as they understood it.

Labeling people for being scared doesn't help anything, it just divides the community during a time when it more important than ever that we speak as one, like you said.

Dear Ladies and Gentleman of the Court Room.
Who here has heard of the ESRB? The Entertainment Software Rating Board.
It's the group of individuals who rate games based on several factors and give ratings for such games.

A for adult oriented games.
M for mature games.
T for teens and higher.
Oh and E, for everyone including myself.

There are no child only directed games, because games can universally be enjoyed by everyone.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Is COPPA not aware that there is a YouTube platform for kids called YOUTUBE KIDS!?

Edit: wow so many likes

[mortalkombat]

It’s never good news the moment when the government talks about fines and deleting accounts

[fictionrumble]

Let’s hope we can still beat them so we all don’t quit YouTube

[aniahliepard]

I understand Abdallah's trying to help but I feel like at the same time he's not being friendly towards those who had a right to be afraid about this

Title: Good news about COPPA

Me: *Press X to doubt*

[ZackScottGames]

Nice video, i haven't been too stressed after reading everything

[AstronScion]

What FTC and COPPA are saying is: Chefs can't serve cheese burger to there customers 'cause a kid can't eat it

[faridaoba]

I kinda don’t like how u are acting like coppa and the FTC gave all this info before

[KnightRaymund]

Didn't watch the whole thing, just some. But while it seems to be good news and it's good that you're bringing attention to it, you also seem to be awfully condescending and dismissive of those worried about it or who were telling others to watch out. When something with serious consequences is very unclear, as this was, it's not fear mongering to bring attention to it and warn people.

[TohruChu]

I hate how you are pretending to present this as if this was all available originally and people had no legitimate reason to be scared or upset, and then claim everyone was "Fear Mongering" yeah some people prob were taking advantage of the situation but these facts were not out and what was shown was very vague, this may not have been your intent but reading some of YOUR comments im not the only one that got that impression from how you presented this. And then at the end of your video you congratulate the work of spreading awareness of the law to the point that we got the update about COPPA. So its very confusing are these people fear mongers or are they helping by making videos and spreading awareness?

Also going through the comments its upsetting to see that you are liking and replay to comments that blindly follow what youre saying / agreeing with you and then ignoring all the ones that kinda call you out for how you present the information.

[souldrum]

Love how this dude went from being worried to becoming a YouTube apologist lol!

[braveblast]

No one :
Absolutely no one :
YouTube: let's pretend YouTube kids don't exist

the "mysterious phone call" thing was shady as hell.
