YouTube says it will switch off comments on almost all videos featuring under-18s, in an attempt to “better protect children and families”.
Several brands stopped advertising on YouTube after discovering that paedophiles were leaving predatory comments on videos of children.
YouTube had originally disabled comments on videos that were attracting predatory and obscene comments.
But it will now disable comments on almost all videos of minors by default.
It said the change would take effect over several months.
