They can get in trouble for keeping basically any information at all on videos that are "for children" even if they're not marked as such but follow some vaguely defined rules for how to tell if it's for children. Also, they aren't allowed to actually check if children are watching because they can't record that information.

Good to see you are in Odysee, i put notifications there, since it actually works and their bugs are less obnoxious than the ones in the youtube app, sometimes i can't do anything, like minimizing the video in the youtube app, in contrast in odysee it just goes to the side instead of where it should, is annoying, but is not a deal breaker, so I am just gathering the good channels and then bye youtube, for music there is soundcloud, it actually has probably more music than youtube because it is geared towards small creators, I am going to check if nico collins is there now.
