Fair enough, but note that most of the people quoted are politicians and people who work at think tanks—pretty much the definition of manufactured consent.

Granted I am also worried about kids using youtube but I also don’t expect google to do anything about it—what could they do, manually vet all videos meant for kids? No, quality is not the google way, it’s automation.

My overall point is that google seems to be fine with just doing things there way and pissing off everyone rather than picking a customer base and meeting its needs.
