    Censoring youtube....

    Anyone able to help with this one?

    My youngest is autistic, and watches a LOT of Youtube. Is it possible to blacklist a channel or video? He's watching stuff with loads of Roblox type characters in it with load of swear words. He then parrots what he's watched.

    I can't find any way of doing it, even after buying Youtube premium. I can't put him on Youtube kids as the icon is different.

    Surely there must be a way? He usually accesses Youtube on an iPhone/iPad. Any ideas?

    Cheers....

      Nope. That seems to stop users commenting on your videos. I want to hide/block all content from a channel. There doesn't appear to be a way to do that which seems nuts.

        The YouTube Kids app lets you block channels, approve content and a load of other granular controls. It replaces the standard YouTube app so you'd have to remove that from whatever device he is using.

        You could also look at the Supervised Experience features if you want him to have a bit more freedom while still retaining parental controls.

          Are we talking browser or mobile app? I could imagine you could block individual channel URLs on your router for the former.

          Good question.

            Yeah that's probably not going to work as he will realise it's a different app. It also doesn't stop browser based access on the iPad/iPhone.

            Doesn't look like you can block channels with that though. At least I can't see a way of doing it?

              Well both really. He doesn't, yet, realise how to turn wifi on/off. My Draytek router doesn't make regex filtering easy, and in any case if he searches for specific terms eg. "destroy school" it's going to pull up direct URLs rather than channels I guess. We're supposed to be getting FTTP in the area soon, so if it's a case of buying a new router, I guess I could just bite the bullet and do that.

                Although I completely hate them have you thought of the various filtering parental control programs you could get and install on the machine...

                  You need to link your your tube account to theirs to set up the Supervision aspect and then bock the channels using your account, and they won't appear on theirs. It's not intuitive but can be done.

                    You mentioned this a couple of times. Is the issue he will be upset you are monitoring or that being autistic, the change of icon/interface will be difficult for him?
