YouTube Kids Launches On Android and iOS

Posted by samzenpus on Monday February 23, 2015 @05:30AM from the won't-somebody-please-think-of-the-children? dept.

An anonymous reader writes As expected, YouTube today launched YouTube Kids for Android and iOS, described as a "family-friendly destination" and "the first Google product built from the ground up with little ones in mind." You can download the new app for free, available only in the U.S., directly from Google Play and Apple's App Store. The app's main selling point is that it only has content deemed appropriate for kids. In other words, the pitch to parents is very simple: This app will ensure that your kids can watch videos posted online without stumbling on clips you wouldn't want them to see.

Well, he does have a point. When my son was two, we did have some very deep philosophical conversations about moral relativism. I'm sure I could have just explained why he shouldn't shout out "SHIT", even though it made people laugh. He totally would have understood.
