For Kids or Not for Kids? How YouTube is being unclear with creators about FTC COPPA laws

YouTube (the actual entity that collects data on everyone who uses it) is trying to shift blame on their data collecting of minors to individual creators by parsing videos into only two categories: for kids or not for kids & not providing a middle ground (for general audiences) which most channels fall under.   They are NOT BEING honest, realistic, or transparent about the FTC fines & COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) law, how compliance actually works, and are dodging having to fix their broken system by shifting the blame from their data collection of 12 and under (which they have control of) to creators because of a few bad acting channels. You can fight back! What YouTube has told you is very unclear and misleading.  COPPA clearly DOES NOT consider "General Audience" or "Mixed audience" videos such as gaming, animation, or vlogs that both adults and children might enjoy to be in the "directed at children" category. You are only in that category if YOU ARE DIRECTLY AND PURPOSELY directing and targeting children as your audience. YouTube is not taking this into account and the burden should be on them to update their data collection techniques.  This whole fiasco is leaving many channel creators highly disturbed and upset and some even quitting their channels all together. Don't take this lying down - fight back for YouTube to institute a true general audience or mixed categorization that actually represents and complies with COPPA without throwing creators under the bus.  Educate yourself and let your objections be know to @TeamYouTube  @YouTube @YTCreators as well as the FTC at https://www.ftc.gov/about-ftc/commiss... and the online COPPA petition https://www.change.org/p/youtubers-an...
