YouTube recently got fined 170 million dollars by the Federal Trade Commission
for alleged violations of the Child Online Privacy Protection Act this is
also known as Coppa as a result YouTube has had to make some massive changes to
the channel and video settings for all creators on YouTube you don't have to
change the settings for your channel and videos as made for kids or not made for
kids click the link in a card to watch my video on how you can change these
settings for your channel individual videos and when you upload a new video
if you choose a setting made for kids YouTube won't run personalized ads on
your YouTube videos
YouTube advertisers can choose which ads can be matched to a relevant audience
this means the ads we put in front of people who may actually want to buy the
product based upon their personal browsing or viewing history it also
means that the advertiser will pay more to run a targeted ad this means your
channel will generate more revenue if you choose the settings not made for
kids how can this drastically affect your income if you file your videos
incorrectly you get a 42 thousand dollar fine if taken to court
you make a video that somewhere out there the FTC or YouTube determines is a
video that's primarily directed to kids younger than 13 years of age and you
haven't marked it as such then the FTC can sue you for forty two thousand five
hundred and thirty dollars get D publication of your video and perhaps
have your account on YouTube entirely terminated alternatively your channel
could get suspended or terminated if YouTube finds that you're abusing the
system if you believe your Google account was terminated in error you can
