Speaker 1 (03:05):
Nice to have you with us this weekend on the
Florida round Table.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
I'm Bill Mick. Doctor Garth Graham is with us.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
He's the head of YouTube Health, and we're talking Internet
safety and your kids. Before we get into all of that,
let's uh, let's let's talk to doctor Graham. Tell us
about your background. You're here in Florida with the rest
of us. So it's good to have a Floridian here.

Speaker 6 (03:28):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I am. I'm very much for Idian.

Speaker 11 (03:31):
You know.

Speaker 12 (03:32):
I went to college at Florida it's not university, and
then went on to medical school, and so I'm a
clinician by training, and I still practice and spend some
time at the University of Florida, whereas I faculty there
for a little while, and then went on to work
on in the government and then the other parts of

(03:53):
the private sector, you know, all while still seeing patients.
And then Bill you know, came to YouTube in the
last couple of years really to advance what we're doing
around health and getting a good health information and also
the topic we're going to talk a little bit about
today in terms of how we keep our community safe,

(04:17):
in particularly the younger folks in our community.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Sure, big dangers there, and I do want to get
into that in a bit. The Internet itself, it's an
unregulated wild West and there's just anything out there. Florida
legislature recently took some action trying to regulate these Internet
providers and how their content is managed in the name
of protecting kids. They put along into play, and if

(04:40):
you're under sixteen, you can't have internet or social media
accounts and the like. Some leeway with permental permission for
some kids, but it is still an unregulated environment out there,
and there are some dangers that are there. One of
the biggest problems you're seeing online as you took over

(05:01):
this YouTube health role.

Speaker 12 (05:03):
Yeah, you know, Bill, you know, the thing is particular
for young people. They're digital natives, right, that's there, that's
they think, you know, digital first. You know, my kids
are are savvier than me with technology, and so we
have to really think about how we protect you know,

(05:23):
young people, not from the digital world, but within the
digital world.

Speaker 6 (05:27):
So how do we teach.

Speaker 12 (05:28):
Them the skills and the mechanisms to be able to
navigate safe Because Bill, the other thing is there's a
lot of learning and there's a lot of great experiences.
You know, my son and I, uh, you know, he's
a math.

Speaker 6 (05:44):
Math kid. I don't know what you call that, but
he's just really heavily into math and I've forgotten a
lot about math. Let me just be trying, quite honestly.

Speaker 12 (05:51):
So so we use we watch YouTube videos and go
through a lot of math, which is good for me.

Speaker 6 (05:58):
And him.

Speaker 12 (05:59):
But they're just so much to learn, and so we
have to think about all of the pluses that come
with the digital environment as well as the challenges. And
then you know, help our kids navigate appropriately so they
can get all that information and learn and you know,
the whole world that they can learn about from you
a math, to music to all kinds of things to history,

(06:20):
but then help them to navigate through some of the
challenges and so, you know, and help parents in terms
of protecting them as well.

Speaker 6 (06:28):
So that's really a.

Speaker 12 (06:29):
Lot of what what our team works on is, you know,
how do we help create some of the protections while
allowing kids to to learn and grow and you know,
again because they function in a digital first world.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Right now, how does YouTube look at this when you're
talking about We're going to talk about the tools a
little bit later, but they're developing tools to help parents.
What is YouTube as an entity looking at as they
provide what they see is protection for these kids or
at least tools for the parents.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
What you looking at them?

Speaker 6 (07:00):
Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 12 (07:02):
So we look at it a cover, so we look
at as safety first, we call it responsibility. So how
do we operate as a very responsible responsible platform, and Bill,
I'll tell you that is our number one priority, this
idea of uh, you know, making sure that we are

(07:22):
setting up the platform in a way that, particularly for
younger views, is responsible and so beyond so in terms
of operationalizing that, we have a number of.

Speaker 6 (07:33):
Features and tools and things.

Speaker 12 (07:36):
That we've been uh developing over the years. Bill, YouTube
is the only a platform that has a specific app
for kids.

Speaker 6 (07:45):
It's called YouTube Kids.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
All right, we'll talk about that some more. We're gonna
have to pause for a moment. Doctor Garth Graham is

Speaker 2 (09:00):
Hello.

Speaker 15 (09:01):
I'm Hector Alessandro, Emmy Award winning actor, and I want
to talk to you.

Speaker 11 (09:04):
About getting older.

Speaker 16 (09:07):
My body hurts, my joints ache, and sometimes I forget.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
I forget that doing all your own scenes for a
movie isn't.

Speaker 15 (09:15):
Always the best decision, especially when you gallop inside saddle
down a countryside road on a horse named Archiebello, who
seems to have only one speed high and pulling on
his reins only seems to encourage him to go Hiven faster.
So of course my body hurts and my joints ache,
but it's not because of my age.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
It's because I'm living my life.

Speaker 16 (09:37):
Oh, Archibello, don't let life pass you by. Take care
of your brain health. It may just help you stay
on top of your game.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
As soon as this scene wraps, I'm gonna kiss the ground.

Speaker 15 (09:47):

brain as you age at brainhealth dot gov.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Back on the Florida round table was we discuss internet
safety predominantly for your kids, but it wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
Hurt for the rest of us either. Doctor Garth Graham
is with us.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
He is the head of YouTube Health and doctor Graham again,
thanks for taking the time. Let's talk about kids for
a minute. How much time are they spending online? This
was an unknown world to me as a kid, and
my kids started there, but it was severely limited.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
Now it's like all the time.

Speaker 17 (10:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (10:31):
And the thing bill we did a report not too
long ago with the American Psychology Association.

Speaker 6 (10:37):
And the real crux hairbill is quality time.

Speaker 12 (10:42):
Because you know there's a big difference between time where
you're spending learning and having active information sharing versus time
that's not that quality, And so we really emphasize and
what you see in a lot of the clinical data is,
you know, this idea of you know, quality time, intentional engagement,

(11:03):
educational information or even though the kinds of things around
entertainment fund that it will help build up your child.
So this idea of quality is really what's more significant,
particularly build as kids are continuing again leading a digital
first life and just kind of growing up in this world.

(11:24):
So the real concept is again how do you shift
and continue on?

Speaker 6 (11:28):
How do you shift? But how do you emphasize.

Speaker 12 (11:33):
Quality experiences, uplifting experiences, educational experiences, learning experiences, all of
those kinds of things.

Speaker 6 (11:41):
In terms of their time.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
Online, I would venture to say most people would suspect
that the kids spend the most majority of their time
on some type of social media with each other. Is
that accurate? Where are kids spending their time producinantly?

Speaker 12 (11:55):
Well, you know, you know, it's hard to tell, I
think because at different stages as kids evolved, they interact
with the digital environment and a variety of different ways.
So you say, you certainly have kids to spend a
lot of times on a video platform like ours, and
then you know, you have kids as they're growing up

(12:15):
and you know, being more in the teenage experience where
they may spend more time and also not some video platform,
social media and all those different aspects.

Speaker 6 (12:25):
So it really is part built of.

Speaker 12 (12:28):
The evolution and built one of the things that you
know parents and I'm a parent of four, so i
am I am needy business right now, not just from
what we do in my work life, but also my
personal life.

Speaker 6 (12:43):
And the real concept here as a.

Speaker 12 (12:46):
Parent is and we'll we'll talk some more about this,
is to set a plan and set boundaries, and so
you help guide them through that digital experience because they
are going to be experiencing the world in that format.
So the concept here is both their own quality intentional
viewing and the kinds of things that will grow their minds,

(13:09):
grow their experiences, and then engaging with them so that
you are setting appropriate boundaries. And we'll talk a little
bit more about this but later on about age appropriate
experiences and how they actually set those things.

Speaker 6 (13:21):
But really the focus has.

Speaker 12 (13:23):
To be on again quality time and you're setting boundaries,
having a plan as a family having a plan for
that child and the last thing I'll say, having for
my own. You know, not every kid is the same,
so you have to even get to understand your child
and you know, what are the dynamics experiences his and

(13:45):
are doing. You know, I do a lot of co
viewing with my kids, so I'll be like, I'll sit
down and be like, what are you doing? And you know,
I'll just kind of watch what they're doing, so I
get a sense of their digital world and that helps
me set their boundaries better and understand a better part
of their life. So again it's it's it's how we
evolved with them bill as both as parents and caregivers.

(14:09):
But again understanding that's the world that they live in now,
so how do we help them navigate that world?

Speaker 1 (14:16):
Very good, Well, while we're there, let's talk about the
threats the dangers that are out there for kids. First
and foremost, there's content out there they shouldn't be accessing,
and if they do get access to it, it can
present problem. What kind of content issues are you seeing?

Speaker 12 (14:32):
Yeah, so so definitely content that is not age appropriate.
So certainly mature content just at baseline is you know,
is going to be challenging for their developmental experience. And
that's why you really want to as a parent emphasize
age appropriate experiences online for your child. So making sure

(14:53):
that you know, and we'll talk a little bit more
about that. On YouTube, you go into the parents of
settings and that you're seting wetting for your supervised experience
age appropriate content. So for instance, built again going using
a YouTube example, you know, again you go into the settings,
you go into the to the family center, and then
you pick what what were what were based on your

(15:15):
child's age, what kind of viewing experience they should have.
And so for instance, if the child, like you know,
my eleven year old, he has a viewing experience that
is within the that that age group setting.

Speaker 6 (15:30):
And so for instance, it's.

Speaker 12 (15:32):
You know, it's more tutorials and you know, he watches
a lot more the sports content. You know, it doesn't
in his age group, you know, live streaming and those
kinds of things would be less frequent and the ability
her own comments and so for a little that's freaking
and then mature mature content would wouldn't even would not
surface for him.

Speaker 6 (15:53):
And it's similar for my teenager as well. And so
being able to set these.

Speaker 12 (15:58):
Age appropriate experiences are are really important for again allowing
your child to develop, Bill, because.

Speaker 6 (16:06):
They're going to grow and so as they grow more.

Speaker 12 (16:10):
And they're they're they're they're more there developmental stages allow
them to make more again, age appropriate decisions.

Speaker 6 (16:18):
That's when you kind of guide them through the process.

Speaker 12 (16:20):
So Bill, you know, just as just as how we
as parents guide them through other decisions in life, guiding
their digital journey is particularly important.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
Makes a lot of sense.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
Something I think, especially the younger kids need to realize
is the lack of reality in many ways online that
predators are out there. They may be telling you they're
an eleven year old girl, but it could be a
thirty seven year old guy, and that reality distinction for
kids could be tough. And that would assume predominantly comes

(16:58):
through the social media apps, but also through gaming. They
might be involved when they were messaging during games, So
what are you what are you thinking about in that area.

Speaker 12 (17:07):
So that again, just like how we teach our kids.
You know, I remember back in the day, back in
the day, you know, my mom would teach me about
the stranger danger, sure, and the kinds of things to
look out for, and you know, you know, not interacting
and talking with strangers or people I don't know, and
how to engage in that.

Speaker 6 (17:27):
We have to teach our kids.

Speaker 12 (17:28):
It's the same things through their online experience, so you know, understanding,
just as you said, teaching them and being very concrete,
the person communicating to you on the other end may
not be in theiring their best interest. And so this
is why you keep your communication loop small to trusted people,

(17:48):
people that you know, and making sure that they understand that.
So at, say, Bill, the same kinds of techniques we
use to guide them, you know, in terms of navigat
eating the streets and the world. We have to give
them those tools to navigate the online world because again, Bail, again,

(18:10):
this is just the world they're living in. It's it's
it's a combination of online, offline, et cetera. And you know,
you teach them things like you know, you know, if
if someone's communicating with you and trying to meet you
in person, what are the dangers and making sure that
they understand how dangerous that concept is, just like how
they would be, you know, worried about a stranger sure

(18:32):
in the real life. So Bill, the thing here again
going back to My first part is have these family conversations,
have a family plan, set the boundaries, be understand in
terms of what they're doing, and we'll talk a little
bit more about some of the tools and age appropriate
experiences and how to help set those.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
Staying on the reality front, more recently on the Internet world,
the development and rapid advancement of what we're calling artificial intelligence,
and we've seen stories where kids or even adults develop
relationship with an artificial intelligence entity, and those can be

(19:12):
benevolent at times. We had a sad case in Central
Florida where a kid took his own life over the
threatening and bad behavior of an AI chat bot that
was talking to this kid.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
We've got to really express.

Speaker 1 (19:27):
To them reality is something different than what you're experiencing online,
even though that's a real part of their world.

Speaker 6 (19:34):
That's right, yeah, yeah, yeah, And you know they're tools.

Speaker 12 (19:38):
There's two ways to look at There is the responsibility
that many of us who work on these tools have
to continue to develop.

Speaker 6 (19:45):
We'll talk more about some of the safety things that
we're developing.

Speaker 12 (19:48):
That's one part, but then also also acknowledging as well
again Bill, as you just said, teaching our kids how
to understand technology, the dangers of technology, and to be
able to differentiate the real versus unreal experiences. And Bill,
it's it's that's the that's the the the muscle that

(20:08):
you know, parents we have for other things, you know,
when we're teaching our kids about bullying and you know,
other experiences that we migrate into these digital concepts as well.
So again, you know, understanding and teaching them about navigating
their navigating their online world, setting a plan, setting boundaries,

(20:31):
understanding red flags, understanding things that are concerning just that
they would.

Speaker 6 (20:35):
In the real world. I think all of those things
still very much apply.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
In today's world. Communication for these kids is instant.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
When I was a kid, if I was calling a
friend to arrange to go play basketball, if his mom
was on the phone, I wasn't getting through. I either
had to go to his house and find him. But
now it's instant, and and that there's an expectation of
instant gratification that comes with that too.

Speaker 12 (20:57):
I think, yeah, yeah, And again, you know, you know,
giving them the tools as kids and as teenagers to
really develop appropriately, Bill is really important. And thinking through again,
you know, how at you know, seven or eight is

(21:18):
one age in stage of development ten and eleven, fourteen, fifteen,
and then how do you kind of gradate their experiences
so they're able to develop build a lot of the
the emotional regulatory concepts and tools that you're articulating that is.

Speaker 6 (21:34):
Very much needed.

Speaker 12 (21:35):
But you know, we you know this next generation is amazing,
and you know what we have to do again is
to continue to give them the skills and tools to
continue to learn from it. Because there's so much information
out there in the digital sphere, right so so much
they can learn. You can access the best of all
kinds of information, allowing them to get the best while

(21:57):
understanding as some of the challengel.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
We've got about it.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
Minute left in this segment, let me hit you with
a fairly straightforward question. Are parents today good online supervisors
or do they have a lot to learn to be
able to be good at this?

Speaker 6 (22:13):
You know, parenting is hard.

Speaker 12 (22:17):
I'm just gonna tell you, living my life, I never
we struggle through this. It's a day by day. My
wife likes to says, like hand to hand, managing these four.

Speaker 6 (22:28):
Kids since a challenge, and so it's a hard job.

Speaker 12 (22:33):
We have to think through how we empower parents to
be able to do the best because they love their
kids and they want the best. So I think empowering
parents is the key.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
And we're going to go there because you folks at
YouTube have developed tools to help parents do this and
do it better than maybe they've been doing it already.
We do that as we continue the Florida round Table
right here on the Florida News Network. Catch our podcasts

Hi, I'm Johnny Erkson Tata. Growing up with a brother
with autism, Sarah Krumft witness firsthand how kids with disabilities
felt left out by their peers. It's why, at the
age of fifteen, Sarah approached her cheerleading coach with an
idea to include girls with disabilities on her school's cheer team. Well,
what started out as an inclusive high school cheer team

(24:24):
in a small town in Iowa has led to what
is now known as Sparkle Effect, a thriving nonprofit with
over one hundred and eighty cheer teams across the United States,
bringing students with and without disabilities together through cheerleading. The
result more confidence, higher grades, and better school attendance for
kids with disabilities, and for those without a disability, new

(24:47):
friends and a greater empathy. Do you want to learn more? Well.

Imagine imagine being denied an apartment because of your religion,
or your race, or because you have children or a disability.

Speaker 3 (26:08):
It's so wrong, yes, But who has the power to
stop this?

Speaker 11 (26:13):
You do, Each of us has the power. The law
is on your side. It's illegal for landlords to discriminate
because of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or
familial status. If you suspect that you have experienced housing discrimination,
find a complaint with HUD immediately so we can investigate it.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
The florida Round table with Doctor Garth, graham he's the
head Of YouTube. Health as we're talking your kids or
grandkids and online safety and Doctor graham, again appreciate you being.
Here important because these kids are living in an online
world a lot of the, time spending a lot of
their day, online whether it's education or entertainment or just

(27:27):
connection and communication with their. Friends you guys have developed
at YouTube some tools to help parents better manage this
and protect their. Kids let's talk about some of, those
the tools that are, available the problems you see in
the solution you've.

Speaker 12 (27:42):
Got, yeah, yeah, Yeah SO i was mentioning for A
bil this idea of setting boundaries for, kids and so
depending on your child's, age we offer a lot of
different environments From YouTube kids To tina cons that allow
you to set what experience you want your child to
guy go. Through and so for, instance for younger kids

(28:03):
you know less than, nine There's YouTube, kids and that's
where you can tailor your child's experience by hand picking
videos for your little ones to. Watch and then for
teens and the, preteens the supervisor accounts and then you
can go in and choose a time management and then
from there you can, do you, know something as much
as even limit how much shorts or shortstorm video the

(28:26):
team can scroll through on YouTube YouTube shorts being the
against a short form, video so you can even limit
the amount of short form video your your teen or preteen.

Speaker 1 (28:40):
Experiences so these are controls that the parents set and
they have a password to get. To so the kids
going change, them mom and dad change them and set
up the. Parameters that's, right, okay, Right.

Speaker 12 (28:51):
So you go in actually through the parents account and
you you you click on your your, name and then
you go down to the send it to The family
center and there you're able to manage each of the
experiences that you have for your kids and the build
that that leads to kind of one other. Thing that

(29:12):
that we've, done and this idea of prioritizing age appropriate.

Speaker 6 (29:16):
Content so AND i have kids who span the spectrum.

Speaker 12 (29:19):
From three to, thirteen and so there are different EXPERIENCES
i would want for my. Kids so for, instance you
know my seven eight year, old you, know she would
be more on YouTube. Kids and you know my eleven
year OLD i would WANT i would set his supervised
experience for kind of the you know, preteen you, know

(29:44):
where he'd have more, music educational, content you, know arts and,
crafts and it would exclude things like live.

Speaker 6 (29:50):
Streams but then for my older, kid.

Speaker 12 (29:53):
You, KNOW i would give him set my my my
experience to this explore.

Speaker 6 (29:57):
More, setting which would give him a broader range.

Speaker 12 (30:00):
Of, videos but still exclude you, know things like you,
know you, know anything that's more adult or more mature
content in. General so this idea of age appropriate experience
is really important that so may we take for. Service
and it goes Back bill to this concept of realizing
kids are all at the different developmental stages and they're

(30:24):
in an online, environment so then how can we set
have parents set those overall experiences so that they're able
to to to to to have. That and then the
last thing that we've done is we made it a
lot easier to create accounts for parents to put their
kids into these age experiences from the.

Speaker 6 (30:46):
Start so this is going to be like.

Speaker 12 (30:48):
How you you, know have like on your you, know
have any Your netflix or something else where you have
able to have these separate. Accounts so This Who's watching,
feature it allows you to switch between account, instantly so
if you want that your teens are going to be
viewing it versus in an Adult so it ensures that
every family lands in their own age appropriate.

Speaker 6 (31:09):
Experience and so.

Speaker 12 (31:12):
You, know all of this allows you to kind of
manage your kids accounts and your supervised accounts for your
kids and, teens and it allows you to easily create new.
Accounts so what we're trying to do build is knowing
that parents are, busy knowing that there's a lot going,
on you, know create these simplified experiences that allow you

(31:34):
parents to set the age of propriate, experience you, know
toggle between some of that.

Speaker 6 (31:39):
Viewing but then within.

Speaker 12 (31:41):
These age appropriate experience have the safeguards so that kids
are able to you, know experience the the the kind
of either, music entertainment or, learning but have all these
additional protections.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
Around that very.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
GOOD i talked to several legislators during the time That
florida was crafting the legislation to protect kids.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
In an online, environment and.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
They said their concern were things that were designed into
some of these apps that were addictive, Features they had
addictive qualities and ends up with kids just scrolling all
day on that type of. THING i can imagine parents
walking into this new not necessarily understanding what's. Happening what

(32:31):
are some of the signs that they're looking for in
their kids that there's a problem with what's going on.

Speaker 12 (32:35):
Online, yeah you, know in any behavior pattern with children
of you, know whether that has to do with online,
dynamics offline, dynamics you, know anything that would make you
anything that looks like it's interfering with your child's normal,

(32:56):
activity it's always something that should make you a. Concern
SO i, think you, know, again in the spectrum of
anything that a kids, experience if you start to notice
that there are things that are getting the way of
their friendships and they're, building, building continuing to build and
enjoy their life and navigate school, appropriately that's when you

(33:20):
always start to want to look at whatever that experience
is and how it's interacting and uh, uh you, know
interfering with your child's. Growth so that's the kind of
WAY i think about, it AND i think that's the
way a lot of the kind of clinical concepts around parenting.

Speaker 6 (33:38):
Point.

Speaker 1 (33:38):
TOWARDS i would almost imagine that if a parent has,
questions they could go to YouTube and find a video
to help them go through.

Speaker 6 (33:46):
This that's.

Speaker 23 (33:47):
Right, well you, know that's the funny thing is you're
going to be in the next.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
ONE i expect you to have one done next. Week,
no it's.

Speaker 12 (34:00):
TRUE i mean that's one of amazings about. YouTube you,
know my my son had all these. Questions the other
there About. MADAGASCAR i have no idea mad A. GASCAR
i don't know where is that? It and that's we
thought of. It there gave us everything to. Do but
you can but but but but but in all sorts
of there is a lot of we have a lot
of appointers and tutorials and teaching about understanding with how

(34:24):
to use his parents of. Settings and then there's a
lot of our partners who have including folks from you,
know doctors And Psychology, association et, cetera who have put
out Information in, Fact, bill The American Psychological association we
work with the put out a guide around you, know
healthy viewing habits and how to do, that and you, know,

(34:46):
uh you know that's on our YouTube health side as.
Well so all of these resources we have are really
around trying to help parents navigate this digital time.

Speaker 1 (34:58):
Period are you seeing other corporations that have these internet?
Applications are they stepping up in a similar way to
YouTube or are Are we've got areas where we've really
got to work on.

Speaker 12 (35:09):
This, WELL i, Know i'll say that we were the
first platform to you, know create this YouTube and the
only one that's created this YouTube kids experience specific for little,
children and then the only one who most recently have
said this you know limit around parents along their limits
around you, know scrolling short form. Videos so there's a

(35:30):
lot that we've done built and part of it is
just we've been in this space a long time around
kids and teens and, so and we work a lot
with psychologists and developmental folks and a lot of, experts
so we're able to learn and iterate over the you,
know over you, know going on ten plus years now

(35:51):
that we've had this YouTube kids app so that's allowed
us to really kind of develop these.

Speaker 6 (35:57):
Tools and then the other thing is.

Speaker 12 (36:02):
It's allowed us to understand how we help parents navigate
the trajectory of the development of your. Child and so you,
know you, know watching them from the kind of the
YouTube kids to the more teenage experience and creating those, TOOLS.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
I, think so you've got kind of a baseline of
how these kids advanced from one one area to. Another
then you've you've got an arc of how, that how that.

Speaker 23 (36:28):
Occurs exactly right right we we we because of, particular
we've created this environment specifically for kids that allow parents
to you, know very much tailor it's that young kids
experience and with all these safety dynamics.

Speaker 12 (36:42):
Around, it it's given us a lot of learnings and
so so so that's what's been special about the kind
of YouTube journey around. This and then they'll you, know
we're continuing to, evolve you, know there is there's nothing
static in this. Process we're going to grow and you,
know we're going to hear a lot more from, parents

(37:04):
hear a lot more from people as we have conversations
with you and, others you, know learn a lot about you,
know how we continue.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
To improve very very.

Speaker 1 (37:13):
Good as we continue this, MORNING i want to see
some of the corporate angle on what corporations perceive their
responsibilities to. Be we tend to frame these things in
discussion As First amendment, rights but rights also carry responsibilities with,
them and where does that line, drawn and how corporations
are reacting to, this and things that parents can be

(37:36):
aware of as to what's reasonable what's. Not we will
move forward that as we talk to Doctor Garth, graham
head Of YouTube health this morning on The FLORIDA A Round,
well it might not be morning when you're listening today

And internet safety this weekend on The Floorida Round Table
Bill mick with Doctor Garth, graham head Of YouTube. Health
as we're looking at internet safety protocols you as a
parent or grandparent can learn help protect your. Kids, here Doctor,
graham let's talk a little bit about the tools the
parents have and how easy is it for them to
implement these controls and be a part of.

Speaker 12 (40:23):
This, yeah, Yeah so let me walk through how a
parent would do, this just even by setting it. Up
so you, know say you're signed into YouTube from from your,
computer you would click on your profile, picture then you
would click on settings and then go into the family,
center so much like you do with you, know most
of your other apps or devices where you click on

(40:45):
your name.

Speaker 6 (40:46):
And then you go into settings and.

Speaker 12 (40:47):
In but but what will you find unique in this
YouTube experiences will be the family center area and there
you can kind of manage the kids profiles and the
features for. Teens so you, like you click invite a
team or you create an invite so that you can
link link their account and then your, team you Know

(41:08):
steenager will will go on the opposite end and do the.

Speaker 6 (41:11):
Same and it's important for.

Speaker 12 (41:15):
Parents and then we're going to make it even easier
now with being able to kind of create these accounts
that you can toggle.

Speaker 6 (41:23):
Between but the thing is all of these tools.

Speaker 12 (41:28):
That we have created come to life within these supervised teen.
Experiences so being able to make sure that you've created
these the linkage between the you know your account and
the teen account allows us to then be able to
make sure all of these safeguards are in. Place, So,

(41:50):
Bill i'll tell you another safeguard that's in, place particularly for,
teens whatever long in there might be for, Incidence, bill
a video that you as as a teenage or as an,
adult let me say an adult may view multiple times
may not be dangerous like have a video on social,
aggression but a teenager in viewing it just one time

(42:12):
may not be a, problem but if they start to
view it multiple times might be more of a, problem
particularly things around like a social aggression or eating disorders
or things along those.

Speaker 2 (42:23):
Lines, sure.

Speaker 12 (42:25):
And so we within the supervised, experience we limit the
amount of times a team may view. That, certainly if
there we have strict policies around eating, disorder anything that
may expose a team to anything around eating, disorders where
we take that off the platform or limit. That but

(42:45):
the kinds of things that may even be higher risk
for a teen we're able to limit those the amount
of times a team would view. That within these supervised.

Speaker 1 (42:54):
Experiences are the parents able to go see how many
times the child has viewed a particular videos for that
kind of.

Speaker 12 (43:01):
Time, Yeah so one of the things they can be
able to see on the younger side for kids is
that viewing experience in. General and So i'm being able
to be able to kind of set some of the
parameters around, that particularly for younger. Children and so all
of this allows us to kind of function within this

(43:22):
protected environment and have your kids function within this more
protected environment and grow at the same.

Speaker 6 (43:28):
Time so that's why it's really.

Speaker 12 (43:29):
Important that's Why, Bill i'm glad you're taking the time
to talk, today because it's it's really important for parents
to know that the tools are, there activate, them and
then it's important for us to make the tools easier to,
activate as we're working on and continuing to.

Speaker 1 (43:44):
Do now we've got states working to regulate, this And
i'm a big free enterprise, guy and that business ought
to run their business and government needs to stay as
far out of it as it.

Speaker 2 (43:54):
Can but.

Speaker 1 (43:57):
Rights and responsibilities go hand in. Hand how is YouTube
seeing their responsibility? Here what's their goal as they look
at these?

Speaker 12 (44:04):
Things, YEAH i mean responsibility. FIRST i mean we see
you know where we're in, general YouTube is a, platform
number the, biggest largest video platform around the, world but
we view responsibility as the number one, priority particularly when
it comes to our younger. Viewers so from our, perspective

(44:26):
we view responsibility as good business and we view just you,
know we put a lot of time and, effort a
lot of time and effort working with these experts developing these,
tools you, know iterating, them you, know bringing, them improving,
them coming you, know you, know making multiple changes as

(44:47):
we continue to. Grow SO i would say From YouTube's,
perspective just like you, said you, know we you, know
as a platform that allows people to express, Themselves i've.

Speaker 6 (44:59):
Give them a it is particularly.

Speaker 12 (45:01):
Important but we also balance this with the responsibility we
have for younger.

Speaker 1 (45:05):
Viewers as we look at the federal government and the
state governments are now battling about regulation of artificial, INTELLIGENCE
i think it would be very difficult for a company
like YouTube to tackle fifty different sets of. Rules if
they can tackle it with just, one that's got to
be a difficult hurdle to. Climb are you seeing difficulties?
There AND i got about thirty seconds for, You oh, yeah.

Speaker 12 (45:26):
Yeah i'll SAY i think everyone's trying to get to
the same goal a, bill which is create a safer.
Environment so for, us we're just reading focused on managing
these tools to make it that way and get it.
Safer SO i think we all share the same goal
of you, know trying to make this safer for.

Speaker 1 (45:42):
Kids and we'll be back in just moments with Doctor Garth,
graham head Of YouTube, health as we wrap up The
Internet safety In Your kids this weekend on The florida Round.

Speaker 1 (48:55):
Association wrapping up a weekend looking At internet safety in
your kids with Doctor Garth graham Of YouTube, health AND
i guess maybe the best way to put this all
together and put a bow on, it Doctor graham is
your best advice to parents in protecting their kids in

(49:15):
this new and exciting.

Speaker 2 (49:18):
Environment but it does require, cautions it.

Speaker 12 (49:22):
Does AND i would say one, is you, know we
have to help our kids navigate again within the digital,
world not from the digital, world just because they are
digital needatives for. Us so the three Points i'd want
to leave parents with is, one set boundaries at work
for your, family whatever your, whatever you you you want

(49:43):
to have, work but set those, boundaries and you, know
teach the kids how to consume content responsibly and while
keeping the final say on what's. Appropriate so again being
able to, read to set those boundaries and understanding you
know the different is a ner. Child the other thing
is you, know again prioritizing age appropriate. Content you, know

(50:06):
understanding that for younger audiences things are different than for
older as your kids, Grow so understanding that you know
how you set that that that, journey and then you,
know spend the, time if you, know trying to set
up the systems that help your kids benefit from the

(50:28):
online protection and the things that are. There and the
last Thing i'll end With bill and again as a you,
know as a paradise faces all the, time is you, know.

Speaker 6 (50:39):
When you set those.

Speaker 12 (50:40):
Boundaries have a, plan just like how you have a
plan for other components of your kids lives and. Development
have a plan for how you want them to be
experiencing and evolving within and this digital. World and then you,
know spend some time also looking at the kinds of
things they consume so that you have a you have

(51:02):
a sense when doin that shared viewing, experience what what
what they enjoy.

Speaker 6 (51:07):
And things all those.

Speaker 12 (51:08):
Lines SO i would say that that would be the
kinds of ADVICE i would have for. Parents but, again
we all have to work hard to help our younger population,
navigate you, know within this digital.

Speaker 1 (51:20):
World let's close it with signs parents can look for
with their, children whether it's the amount of time they're
spending online or how they're reacting after they're using this
content or interacting with friends or. Others what do parents
need to look for to, say, uh, oh my kid
may be in.

Speaker 2 (51:38):
Trouble, YEAH i.

Speaker 12 (51:40):
Would say a couple of things change in behavior that
seems uncharacteristic of how they were. Before the second would be,
obviously you, know things that are interfering with a school
or the kinds of activities that outside of their online
experiencing was allowed them to. Grow and THEN i would,

(52:02):
say you, know as, parents we always want to have
a sense just like how we have a sense of
who their friends are in real, life and you know
we have a sense of who their good friends are
and you know what things are going. On, well want
that sense of who they're interacting with in terms of
their digital, life so that the same conceptual protections and

(52:27):
thinking and watch out to you to give them in
on the offline, world you want to give them that
online world as.

Speaker 1 (52:34):
Well that's, Fantastic Doctor Garth. Graham appreciate your time. TODAY
i wish we had more time because it's flown by
but invaluable information for parents and for these. Kids as
this digital world is going to continue to, grow it's
going to consume their working. Lives if you can help
them manage it, now they're going to be better off
down the.

Speaker 2 (52:53):
Road so thank you. AGAIN i look forward to us talking.

Speaker 6 (52:55):
