Speaker 1 (00:21):
Robin and kidds Now with Correos the podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Corey's broadcasting from home today and it was interesting. We
saw your kids just moments ago, both came here to
say gooday, both carrying their giant iPads with all the
padding on it. So this is this story is going
to affect them directly. It's certainly going to affect my kids.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Well, Hucks is what three, Monti is six, Rafie is
six yep, but this is kind of bigger at the
moment for the over twelves. Now, we've got Alana from
our newsroom and with us because our decision is being
made today.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Yeah, well it's already been made. That YouTube will be
included in that social media band that's coming in for
under sixteens later this year, which means that if you're
under sixty in you won't be able to have your
own YouTube account. I think the gray area there is
that you know, you don't need a YouTube account to
access a lot of videos that are already on there,
(01:20):
Like you don't need to log in. You can still
see some stuff, but like a lot of protected stuff
is behind it. It will be like log in, get an
account to watch this that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Yeah, okay, so you can still you can still search
YouTube for example, but you can't have an account, which
means you can't make you can't make videos, you can't
be an influencer at a very young age, which I know.
That's one of the reasons I stopped my boy from
watching it. It's all the other kids. It's so many kids,
rich kids, in particular the kids in Dubai opening gifts,
(01:50):
and he loved to watch it, and then he would
be a pain in the ah afterwards, you see what's
wrong with him. And then the common denomine would always
be that he was watching those kids on YouTube.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Because there is YouTube kids, which is yes, so this
is different. This is we're predominantly looking right now in
thirteen one, o six five, because there is going to
be a lot of parents and children that this is
going to impact, so over twelve and under sixteen.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Yeah, okay, it's a tough one.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
The new stats that have come out and the new evidence,
which is why YouTube was added, because it's been it's
a bit of a backflip because the social media band
we've known that's coming in for a little while.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
On Instagram and then snapchat, chiptok exactly.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
It didn't include YouTube initially because it was a video
showing platform, but now there's new evidence that has found
thirty seven percent. So that's one third of kids reported
that their most recent or their most harmful online experience
was on YouTube. And so and seventy percent of children
aged ten to fifteen use YouTube daily.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Okay, let's go around the ground. Yes, okay, what do
you think about kids over twelve? Because they're not going
to look at YouTube kids, they're not going to be interested.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
They're looking at the real one.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Under sixteen, should they have access to YouTube?
Speaker 5 (03:05):
Corey?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
No, no, I no way. I think I think it
is horrible. I think it's probably the one of the
worst out there for kids that age. So yeah, I'm
all for it.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
So what I mean, what are you suggesting they should
just be watching television or not watching anything? What are
your what are your thoughts on that?
Speaker 6 (03:23):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (03:23):
I just think because well I feel like at that
age they're smart enough to know what they're looking up
and to search, and yeah, I think it teaches them
bad things and there's a lot of bad things on YouTube,
because I think it's changed so much over the years,
and people use it for their advantage, and unfortunately a
lot of them use it in the wrong way, and
(03:45):
I think it's it's a bad example for kids in
the teenage years, and I definitely don't want my kids
doing that when they're that old.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
I concur I don't have a teenager yet, but I'm
happy with the thought that Rafie won't have that as
even an option, because it's just once it's there. Once
it's an option, you know, he's going to want to
do it, and he's going to be wanting to put
up videos. And like you said that, it is social media.
People comment blah blah blah. It's like it's just the
same as as Instagram. It's just longer video.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Okay, So here is the argument from my perspective for it.
As a single parent, I used YouTube a lot because
I would say to the kids and this was I
remember this so classically. I had a big fur like
hairball in a sink and I couldn't work out how
to remove that part of the you in the sink.
(04:34):
Oh yeah, So I said to the boys, can someone
plays YouTube this? And follow the instructions and clear the
sink because I didn't want to hire a plumber and
there was an instructional video from another person showing them
how to do it. I did that all the time,
all the time.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
It's good argument. There's good things. There are good things,
they're helpful things on there.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
So I just think kids would be outside at that
age to get outside.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Go sink. You're but you're there, but you're there.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Like the use they can use your account, that's it,
like they shouldn't have their own.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Thirteen one oh sixty five. If you want to get
involved with there's plenty of calls already coming through. I'd
love to hear from someone who's right in it. If
you're somewhere between twelve and sixteen, what do you think
is this going to affect you terribly? Do you feel
like you're old enough to be responsible?
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
And can you self monitor? And also what are the
things that you are looking at that people wouldn't be
happy with?
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Thirteen one oh sixty five Talia from.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
The Goldie Hi, Hi, how are you going? Thanks?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Now?
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Oh you're a teacher. What do you think about this?
Speaker 7 (05:40):
I think this is the best thing they could possibly do.
I mean, I've been teaching for twenty two years and
the decline that I'm seeing in literacy. I'm a year
two teacher, so I'm teaching those younger years. Yeah, kids
are coming to school and we're coppying the flak as
teachers because these kids don't know how to read, let
(06:02):
alone write. And I blame devices. I just think parents
need to take them off and having this band will
make them accountable because it needs to go back to
just you know, golden books and you know books that
I used to do with my kids, because kids don't
they don't know the basics because they're just watching videos and.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Good argument and four parents, how good when you go
it's the law, guys, I'm sorry, the police are coming.
You can't have yes.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Do you know what my fifteen year old have said to.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
That, let's seem Do you want me to cash thirteen
one day, six y five? If you want to get involved?
Do you think this is a good move? Do you
think you're old enough? If you're thirteen fourteen years old,
are you old enough to police this thing? You don't
need the rules, you don't need the government getting involved.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Seventy percent of children age ten to fifteen use it daily?
Did you say seventy seventy percent?
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Wow, that's incredible.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Ry. I can't why it's just going to go to
a normal, normal time. When will kids?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Well, you two are agreeing with this man and we
are finding out on thirteen's one.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Sorry, Yeah, you're right. Yes, what do you think and
particularly if you're if you're in that age gap, do
you think you're responsible enough to take care of it yourself?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Toby, I Surfa's Paradise. What do you reckon?
Speaker 5 (07:35):
I reckon absolutely agree with you guys, and I agree
with YouTube and the platform. Me being thirty one, I
grew up near sort of eleven twelve watching YouTube for
hours every day and it was a major distruction to
my life. So absolutely to reckon.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Your life you're growing up would have been better without it?
Speaker 5 (07:53):
I think it would have. I should have stuck to
playing in the mud in the treehouses.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
I think because you did what? Because you tried to
copy things.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
Copy things? Just watching bodybuilding videos, traveling videos. Yes, there's
an inspiration, but just a major distraction to school and
the real life.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Really okay, thanks Toby, Mary of kem L.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
What do you reckon about this YouTube? Being added to
the band.
Speaker 6 (08:17):
Well, I disagree because I think parents are supposed to
be responsible for what the shit is building, and you know,
it's taking away from them actually parenting their children.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
But the one thing I will say, Mary, is that yes,
parents should be parenting their children. Absolutely they should. But
sometimes having the backup of the government saying that they
agree that this isn't a great thing helps a parent
to parent better.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
I think though, you know, I mean just as a
teenager and they you know, I discovered she created herself
a Facebook account at fourteen because I monitor what she does.
So again, I get rid of it, or I will
get rid of it and a few other privileges that
you currently have for you. I'm not having.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Fourteen fair enough, Mary.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Angela out of Eastern Hime, Hey Angela, Hi, now you've
got You had a couple of eleven year olds in
the car just a minute ago when we were talking
about this.
Speaker 8 (09:17):
Yeah, I had two. I was dropping to eleven year
olds at school and they heard this on the radio
and they were absolutely devastated it's being taken from them.
And I said, do you know the dangers around this?
Do you know, like somebody at school who doesn't particularly
like you on that day, could put their phone underneath
(09:37):
the toilet stool's door. They could film you, and then
that could reach thousands, if not millions, of kids, you know,
within twenty seconds. I said, it is such a dangerous
thing to have. I said, did you know that that
can happen? And they said, oh no, we didn't think
of that. And I said, does a school teach you this?
And not that it's a school's responsibility, it's also the parents,
(09:58):
Like I think it's the parents more than the schools. Yeah,
but they said, no, no, we don't. We don't get
told that. Why aren't we telling these kids the real dangers.
Tell them to look both ways across the road because
they're going to get hit by a car. So why
are we telling them what this can actually do to
their life?
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Good question.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Well, Angela, here's the great thing about this morning, right.
We might have devastated them, but you also educated them.
Speaker 8 (10:24):
Yeah, very true.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Yeah, you had that moment Jason out of g Bunk.
Now you're how old are you, Jason?
Speaker 9 (10:31):
Oh, I'm twelve turning thirteen.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Okay, so you're right in the middle of this. You'll
be straight up affected by this. What do you think.
Speaker 9 (10:38):
Look what I think. I sort of agree with the bend. Look,
kids my age really do need to touch grass. Like
if you've seen ninety percent of the kids my age,
there are two like wrapped around like screens to go
outside or anything. So oh, definitely that. But sometimes it's
just nice to you know, relax, Like what's your favorite
(11:01):
content creator? Like, yeah, it's just.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Get No, don't you just want to get out so
on and go player around your maids, Like, go make
some memories with your mates outside in the park. That's
what I think all the kids between twelve and sixteen
are missing out. I like, there's so many things and
so many memories you can be making, and they ain't
on screens for sure.
Speaker 9 (11:25):
It's just like, for example, every morning we've got to
take the train to school, Yeah we could be reading
a book, but instead we watch YouTube.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Yeah sounds like that.
Speaker 7 (11:35):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
You sound like an incredibly responsible twelve year old. Do
you think you are you are responsible enough to then
not watch content that your parents would not approve of?
Speaker 8 (11:47):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (11:47):
Absolutely, for my mom found out then that YouTube become
all my trivileges.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
I love it. I love I love your first comment.
Kids just need to touch grass these.
Speaker 9 (12:00):
Days that it's just like some of my best friends.
I'm just like, oh, you want to go for a
bike ride because most of them lives near me, and
they're like nah, or maybe in like two hours time.
I'm just wrapping up this game and don't say that.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
We'll you can get one of the out of the
House for Monster Trucks. I've got a family pass or
the Hot Wheels Monster Trucks for you. Jason.
