— Variety/ReutersYouTube is taking additional steps to restrict the possibility that children will be targeted by predators on the video platform, including banning young kids from livestreaming without adult supervision.The Google-owned video platform, in a blog post Monday (June 3), also said it is limiting recommendations of videos that depict "minors in risky situations". YouTube added that it has added new artificial-intelligence classifiers in recent months for live video to "find and remove more of this content". Channels that run afoul of the updated policy may lose their ability to live stream. "Responsibility is our number one priority, and chief among our areas of focus is protecting minors and families," YouTube said in the blog post. It said reports sent to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children prompted more than 6,000 such investigations in the past two years.
