[QUOTE="Smibo, post: 105881, member: 17891"] Hi all. I've been lurking here for several months since I got my Spark, never did a "new pilot check-in" (sorry), so this is my first comment, from an unknown person coming out of nowhere. I feel compelled to chime in here though, because looking at this issue I have a couple of thoughts that I haven't seen brought up either here or elsewhere. So here goes. Easy one first; I've seen some comments where people talk about dropping YouTube and going to some other platform. But COPPA is a USA regulation, and chances are the other platforms (like Vimeo, for example) are also USA-based, and will have to comply with COPPA as well. My second thought is a question, perhaps born of ignorance (I am neither an attorney nor a YT uploader); is there some advantage or disadvantage to labeling your content audience as being either "for kids" or "not for kids?" Couldn't you simply declare that your content is not for kids, and thereby be COPPA compliant, regardless of your content? I mean sure, many kids are fascinated by drones, but does that alone automatically make your videos "for kids?" Kids are interested in almost everything except eating their asparagus; does that mean all non-asparagus-related content automatically needs to be COPPA compliant with regard to the nature of the content? I'm probably missing something here; please feel free to tell me what it may be, because the apparent answer seems too simple, given all the controversy surrounding this topic. * The target audience of this comment is "not for kids." If you're a 10-year-old kid reading this, then no offense kid, but I'm not here for your advice about (for example) what kind of ND filter to use in a particular setting, you know? Now eat your asparagus, then go finish your homework. [/QUOTE]
