As far as I know the US introduced a law or something called COPPA which means companies like Google/Youtube can't collect data on children who might be using their services and Youtube got fined over this so they came up with this draconian solution to comply with the law where the users on youtube will be found a fault instead of themselves if they don't comply with it. Even though this is only a law in the US, it effects everyone in the world who use youtube.Why did YouTube even start doing this in the first place?
