YouTube's Search Autofill Surfaced Disturbing Child Sex Results (buzzfeed.com)
Several users are reporting that they found YouTube autocompleting search queries starting with 'how to have' with disturbing suggestions, including 's*x with your kids' over the weekend. From a report: A YouTube spokesperson told BuzzFeed News that the matter is still under investigation. "Earlier today our teams were alerted to this awful autocomplete result and we worked to quickly remove it," the company said. "We are investigating this matter to determine what was behind the appearance of this autocompletion." We tried the same query on YouTube less than an hour before publication of this story, and we found "how to have s*x in school," and "how to have s*x with kids" were still surfacing in the results.

How's all that crowdsourced content working out for you guys?
People want what they want. Kids like sex too.
Try to search Youtube for "Kunt and the Gang Sexy Kids" and you won't find his duet with Jimmy Saville's ghost.
"We mustn't be caught by surprise by our own advancing technology" -- Aldous Huxley
Who hasn't typed disturbing things into a search engine just to see if you get results, or to shock the person watching you surf?
I can't take the query, "How to have sex with your kids" very seriously, since anyone who actually has kids probably knows how sex works, and predators seem to instinctively understand how to groom and control their targets... they don't need a manual for that part, either.
If the questions were about finding darknet child porn exchange forums, THEN I'd be more concerned about finding the people making the queries.
My impression was that your previous searches would influence your autocompletes. I don't get the same results, mine are quite innocuous.
That being the case, I have to wonder about the people reporting this.
Or are we really having a large group of pedos entering obvious search terms into youtube where sexual material (or even nipples) is usually erased within minutes?
Someone gamed the Youtube search engine to generate a story. Nothing to see here, move along.
Turn off the "personalized search results" you pervert!
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
Well, at least it's s*x and not sex.
Now now there slashdot, youtube aint hurt nobody, Alex Jones will get to the bottom of this.
Well, I'm sure now it's going to be a top search query, since thousands of people will read the article and go try it out to see if anything comes up.
..for proving the thousands just hauled off to reeducation were pedos. Next time they'll have the undeseriables ready to go.
...and are horrified with results". Humanity will never cease to provide and endless stream of horrific forms of content, suggestions etc that AI will pick up on (it's just a stupid statistical match after all nor "real AI"). You need a true AI to be able to expect it to filter otherwise arbitrary random crap that is poured into it.
Whats next, someone complaining that youtube's arrow looks like the head of a penis?
Is there a reason that the autocomplete should ever ever ever ever autocomplete "sex" at all? How complicated is this?
You wouldn't finish your wife's sentences in public that way either. This isn't advanced AI. If you want to search for "sex", you get to type "sex" yourself.
Very complicated.
I tried it, it still appears as an autocomplete suggestions, but none of the videos showed have anything to do with kids. I wonder how it ended up there.
Have we reached the point where we need to censor the word sax?
Woodwinds are instruments too.

It's more funny than it is offensive. The autocomplete combines partial phrases with nouns and verbs. Both sex and children are "popular" individual search terms. It is a false implication that the whole sentence is popular.
The computer doesn't know that to combine them in certain sentences is inappropriate. It's very simple programming and programming around these rare combinations is going to slow down webpages and the internet when you consider how many languages there are along with slang and double entendre's.
Stop being so politically correct.
probably anonymous. whenever odd stuff starts showing up in autocomplete, it's anon.

I advise everyone not to click on the above link.
Creimer why don't you share with the class an approximate count of times you've said "Child brides are as american as apple pie" or used the phrase "Underage sweet thing"?
For those who don't know creimer he talks about creepy shit all the time but insists he's not a pedo. He will also do almost anything to try and spam/monetize the internet even if the return on investment will be extremely small.
Right now his current project is getting his karma back in the positive so he can spam slashdot with amazon referrer links (A practice that he brags made him $600 this year!) . So be sure to check his story submissions and vote those down.
He couldn't wait to talk about marrying children now that there is a remotely related story on the frontpage.
I have archived his latest story so you can laugh at it without giving him money

I’ve heard stories of engineers saving enough money to retire to Mexico, build a mansion and marry a sweet young thing. The village elders allowed this with the understanding that the American would leave everything to the village when he dies. A win-win situation for getting the most “bang” out of retirement dollars.
Oh wow
Special thanks go to the Anonymous Cowards (ACs) on Slashdot who protested this false narrative, posted news article links and tried to raise awareness about this serious issue.
Hahaha I'm dying. Yeah sure you have no interest in the subject. That's why you checked if your liquidated assets would be enough to buy a child bride of your own.
Maybe it is just a weird way of phasing "how to have sex when you have kids", as in "how to avoid having little monsters interrupt intimate moments". And "how to have sex in school" is probably a question that is in the mind of every teenager...
"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity" is even truer with computers.

Say it with me now. SEX! It's a thing, it exists, it's not a dirty word. Ok tutorials on youtube probably ain't great but why can't/won't TFA say the word sex. It's like they're talking about such forbidden fruit it's no wonder the kids end up so messed up, pretend it doesn't exist til they're 18 and then expect them to know all about it.

If you stroll down the page, the ads are still there. Impressions do count. You just made creimer another half-cent.
Do you support eliminating child marriages from the law books? You need to be a grown up to have that discussion.
As an aspiring incestor and pedophile, I never even knew what to search for to find how-to videos. Thanks Google !
Well, suppose you have a rectangle and the side lengths are s and x and you want to know the area ...
This is a technology forum. We are in a sub-group where people are talking shit about you, cdreimer. Due to the moderation system, general readers of Slashdot won't ever read these comments, it's just you and shit-talkers
So why would we want to engage in a serious conversation about child marriage with a 50 year old virgin who says things like "best bang for retirement buck" and "marrying a kid is American as Apple Pie"? Every single person here either enjoys making fun of you, thinks you should be banned, or some combination of the two. No one wants to talk about child marriage with a creepy old man.
I tried asking "How to use YouTube Autofill" ...
Sigh. Missed out on another fad.
It must have been something you assimilated. . . .
Due to the moderation system, general readers of Slashdot won't ever read these comments, it's just you and shit-talkers
Moderation is so broken that you need to read at -1 to find the best comments.
Results: No matches.
Dear Slashdot: next time you want to mess with the site, add a rich-text editor for comments.
Seems like the author is conflating auto-complete suggestions with search results.
There you are spamming amazon affiliate links through your blog with yet another fake account, you revenue stream hogging disgusting fat sexist tube of lard, Christopher Dale Reimer!
With an article about child bride and apple pie you disgusting pig!
You can be sure I will be watching this fake account too. I know this is you because you told me you were working on your freepass 11 file server and you are so dumb that you can't even masquerade yourself properly.
Now, I told you I was out of meds last week and you didn't even care to contact me you lazy fucker.
How many times do I have to express the emergency of the situation??????
The python click script you wrote for my pheromone revenue stream web site suddenly stopped to work!!!!!!
You fucking incompetent python script writer!!!
When it works, I get 4000+ clicks a day on my pheromone revenue stream web site but only 5 or 6 without it!!!!
Now, it seems like you dont care and that you have abandoned me you heartless fucking pig!
Bonus:
Here is a story that creimer told me when convincing me what a hard life he had:
The tree was him and the tree knot was his butt hole!
So, his uncle packed his fat ass with lard and with his cock! Not that it makes much of a difference but anyway, there it is!
Signed:
The girl that used to love you and now hates you, burn in hell where you belong you sexist pig!
doesn't make mistakes.
Now people no how to have sex with kids on Youtube just like searching Google for "teen dog" for bestiality doesnt show wherewolves.
Obviously you are fabricating non-excuses, havana9
what would be more more alarming would be if there were relevant results returned.
Well that should be obvious! Since creimy is posting at -1, you need to browse at -1 to see the best comments! You narcissist fuck! Moderation works fine if you ask me!
CREIMER SUBMISSIONS UPDATE: /. so make sure to go to:
Note also that creimer is trying to regain karma by getting his submissions published as articles on
https://slashdot.org/~cdreimer
and mod down his submissions as well. The great thing is that you don't even need mod points to mod down a submission, just click on the "minus" icon!

I don't bother with mod points. I'm doing something much more sinister. It took ten story submissions ? I'll have to double check the number ? to move cdreimer's karma from neutral to excellent without ever being exposed to the capricious mods. Mmmmmwwwwahahahahahahaha!
https://slashdot.org/comments....
Danger, Will Robinson, Danger! Creimy is posting more than 2 posts a day. Hurry! mod down otherwise /. will go to hell again!
Note: you can mod down even if already at -1 to lower karma and to prevent lost /. users to accidentally mod up.

C.D. Reimer is a renowned Slashdot collaborator, as he puts it himself; "Because of the quality of my posts and my article submissions, I'm a highly rated commentator and moderator."
But does anybody ever wondered what "C.D." stands for? Well, it stands for Creimy Dumpty of course!

Creimy Dumpty had a great fall.

You've already admitted that the trolls make Slashdot hell for you and that was back when you'd engage your trolls for dozens of posts. I've been collecting metrics on clicks way down here in the 10th nested reply. Nobody is clicking anything here except to make fun of you. It wasn't worth your time back when you had karma and were making $3/day at your peak so I know your returns are laughably abysmal now. I'm going to start archiving your blog so that people can laugh at you without getting you a single click.
Truth is these days we quickly call you out within minutes of your posts and you clam right up. Used to be you seemed to like shitting up the main thread engaging your trolls because it was "free advertising". I believe at one point you said that there was no such thing as negative attention. So now nobody sees our little chats, you get no new attention.
It's for the best too because I can tell you don't like talking when the subject is YOUR CREEPY PEDO-CENTRIC POSTING HISTORY
People inside and outside of Youtube as a company have stated that they have very clear evidence that Youtube staff does no care or purposely ignores laws and child safety and illegal content etc because they put image and marketing and PR and growth above all else. THAT is what caused this. A huge multi-channel owner named Matthias is currently destroying them on social media over this issue and they're still doing nothing to fix it while lying and saying that they are. I'm surprised they aren't forwarding all searchers of these terms IP addresses to the NSA or something. Like seriously, Google does that for other categories.

Not for me it does. If I type "how to have" I get innocuous suggestions

Interesting if you type "how to have sex" you get suggestions
https://i.imgur.com/5DryMlR.pn...
but as soon as you hit space and get to "how to have sex " it stops
https://i.imgur.com/nYqdcVU.pn...
There are three options here. It runs off what you've searched for before, and the Buzzfeed guy had done a search for "sex with kids".
Or Youtube have fixed it so that as soon as you get to "how to have sex " it stops giving you suggestions.
Or Buzzfeed are lying.
All of those seem pretty plausible to me.

Step 1: "Bait trolls" with stupid, useless, inflammatory, or creepy post.
Step 2: Use Anonymous Coward to say "Hey this is trollbait!"
Step 3: Giggle every time someone responds to your "trollbait"
Step 4: Get butthurt about what they say, stop giggling.
Step 5: File fraudulent DMCAs
Step 6: Deny working at the TLA that you work at.
Step 7: Delete and recreate Slashdot Account
Step 8: Argue the semantics of the phrase "underage sweet thing"
Step 9: Cry on blog.
Step 10: Make a dozen AC posts in the 3rd person affirming that creimer is not butthurt about the trolls.
Step 11: As a matter of fact you love your trolls and make money off them hand over fist really.
Step 12: Complain that trolls are ruining slashdot and all "the good posts" happen at -1

I remember the good old days when an idiot with a bug up their ass about something stupid would just be ignored. The worst part of the internet is that idiots amplify each other's nonsense and get taken seriously.
Ever notice on Bing image search it throws in some odd stuff, like sometimes regular porn, nudist or family photos get mixed together and in that case some nude images of children or families are mixed in with porn. Personally I find that really disturbing because it exposes those images in a sexual context when the images were not intended as sexual. It creates a potential safe space for pedophile type behavior. I also get nude images of dead bodies sometimes mixed with porn images which is disturbing, but the kid stuff really worries me how accessible it's become seemingly by accident on Microsoft's part.
