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.

Most likely it's just for fun

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.
