Finally, youtube is taking steps to delete content like this. Let's hope it's just the start +++

"The wildly popular Toy Freaks YouTube channel featuring a single dad and his two daughters has been deleted, amid a broader crackdown on disturbing children's content on the video streaming platform.
Toy Freaks, founded two years ago by landscaper Greg Chism of Granite City, Illinois, had 8.53million subscribers and was among the 100 most-viewed YouTube channels before it was shut-down on Friday.
A YouTube spokesperson said in a statement: 'It's not always clear that the uploader of the content intends to break our rules, but we may still remove their videos to help protect viewers, uploaders and children. We've terminated the Toy Freaks channel for violation of our policies.'
'We take child safety extremely seriously and have clear policies against child endangerment. We recently tightened the enforcement of these policies to tackle content featuring minors where we receive signals that cause concern,' the statement said. "

Why are we cheering censorship on Voat?
If you think those kids are being abused then the videos are evidence of a crime, not something to be removed itself.
If you think the videos are harmful to children, don't let your kids watch them and warn others about the issue.

Because the videos are deceptive and geared towards children. We know that many parents don't monitor their kid's activities. We know there there are kids being psychologically harmed and we want them protected. Just like we care about kids being trafficked, even though they aren't our own. 😩 If you want to watch sick things like that, you can find it on the net, but it doesn't belong on a venue like youtube where there are rules and terms of service.
