Better filters won't cure this: YouTube's kids nightmare

"AC was indicating that the users wanting filtering were teacher/schools. "

But the issue is what kids do at home - and I won't let kids use Chrome so all their activities are also funneled to Google, nor pay any money to Google for it - and it's funny how people who loathed IE for the MS lock-in years ago, are very happy with the Chrome lock-in - which is much worse, because it's not about software, it's about data pulled from users, and information pushed to users.

And sure forcing schools to use any Google products makes much easier for Google to ensure the lock-in - but it's a dreadful idea - I would challenge any school that would force my kids to use the slurping and brainwashing Google tools for education.

While there's no need to access YouTube - you can still access it with minimal interaction with Google. If Google is unwillingly to policy its contents because money is money, it can be utterly blocked.
