good one, wouldn't even cover more than maybe $1500

Then they just take it out of your paycheck and wait in line while knocking your credit score.

unemployed

and again, still actionable to take to court

If it goes to court, you can plea bankruptcy

Yep, and then sue the balls off the FTC

What type of debt and how much?

if you don't mind sharing

a class action suit, for how wide a net they're casting

Well according to Gserv they'll try and fine me up to $42k per video that fits their vague parameters

Wait, what?

talking about COPPA

Oh

not 100% fluent on it myself but basically the Federal Trade Comission has nothing better to do but rob content creators on youtube. not that I'd pretend to such a title

I thought you meant like you were going to jail cuz of massive debt

So if the channel owner has to foot the bill on that fine, that would mean that YouTube admitted they were a platform and aren’t ultimately responsible for what people post, right? Wouldn’t that open them up to more lawsuits?

Gserv seems to think so. I disagree

Skef, that'd be correct.

I don't want to get fined for some four year old Minecraft video where I made jokes about terrorism.

I think if Jeff Dunham can have Ahkmed, you'll be fine

So people who’ve had their channels banned can possibly sue to get their channels back?

well don't worry, the FTC are blowing smoke up their own asses if they think any court will authorize a collection on it

Supposedly this was the issue with the PragerU case

they're trying to get the courts and / or YT to settle on which they are

Right now, they act as both

Well it looks like they might have turbofucked themselves.

Turbo? More like Hyperultramegaturbofucked themselves

No one's coming out of this clean

I doubt very seriously any panhandlers such as myself are in danger

I haven't looked into COPPA specifically, but my personal opinion is that people are making a bigger deal of this than warranted and not putting themselves in YT's shoes. Not that there aren't problems and bad management, but it's also a hard problem to solve because they have to deal with the SJWs as well as us and neither side is happy.

If the “Even if you mark your content as not being for kids that won’t protect you.” thing is true that’s completely fucked

To me, that's my biggest concern and as Styx pointed out, they handled that aspect poorly as fuck

and doubly indefensible if a court gets their hands on it

quit

crying

Personally, I'm not relying on YT to make me money, which is unfortunate

No court in these united states will uphold a collection on a fine that is being made as unavoidable as possible

the FTC are out of line and won't get a damn thing

Yeah this is a massive overreach
