YouTube首席执行官限制自己孩子使用流媒体网站

YouTube’s CEO doesn’t let her own children use the platform.

YouTube的CEO不让自己的孩子使用这个平台。

Susan Wojcicki revealed in an interview Sunday with CBS’ 60 Minutes that she doesn’t allow her kids to use the main version of the video streaming site, allowing them only to use YouTube Kids.

苏珊·沃西基(Susan Wojcicki)周日在接受哥伦比亚广播公司(CBS)的《60分钟》(60 Minutes)节目采访时透露，她不允许自己的孩子使用YouTube的主版本，只允许他们使用YouTube kids。

“I allow my younger kids to use YouTube Kids, but I limit the amount of time that they’re on it,” the executive said. “I think too much of anything is not a good thing.”

“我允许我的孩子们使用YouTube，但我限制了他们使用YouTube的时间，”这位高管说。“我觉得任何事情都做得太多都不是好事。”

YouTube has come under fire in recent years for promoting inappropriate and sometimes disturbing videos to children through its algorithm. The Kids version of the site, which launched in April, provides a curated experience to children that walls them off from adult content.

近年来，YouTube因通过其算法向儿童推广不适当的、有时会令人不安的视频而受到抨击。该网站的儿童版于今年4月推出，为孩子们提供了一种精心策划的体验，让他们远离成人内容。

In 2017, YouTube was slammed for making money off videos of scantily clad children that had attracted scores of lewd comments. YouTube would run ads on these videos, many of which were uploaded by the children themselves, and then suggest another similar video of, say, a preteen in a nightgown.

2017年，YouTube因从一些儿童衣着暴露的视频中赚钱而受到抨击，这些视频吸引了大量下流评论。YouTube会在这些视频上播放广告，其中许多视频是孩子们自己上传的，然后推荐另一个类似的视频，比如一个穿着睡衣的青春期前儿童。

Advertisers like Adidas, Mars and Hewlett-Packard pulled their YouTube advertising following an expose on the practice by the UK’s The Times.

英国《泰晤士报》(the Times)曝光这一做法后，阿迪达斯(Adidas)、玛氏(Mars)和惠普(Hewlett-Packard)等广告客户撤下了他们在YouTube上的广告。

The company has since clamped down on search terms that bring up videos of young kids, and has eliminated creeps’ abilities to post comments on them.

自那以后，该公司就开始限制那些提供孩子视频的搜索词，并取消了爬行动物在这些词上发表评论的能力。

“Nothing is more important to us than ensuring the safety of young people on the platform,” Wojcicki has previously said.

沃西基此前曾表示：“对我们来说，没有什么比确保平台上年轻人的安全更重要的了。”。
