Stop the Unfair Ads on YouTube Kids

From the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood:

"If we don’t act now, Google could singlehandedly demolish long-standing rules that protect children from harmful commercialism.

Research shows that young children have trouble distinguishing commercials from programming. That’s why there are laws that require clear separation between advertising and content on children’s television. But on Google’s new app YouTube Kids, it’s impossible to tell where the content ends and the ads begin. The app features the types of ads that are illegal children’s television. To make matters worse, Google promises parents that the app is a safe place for young children to explore but the app is rife with videos that would not meet anyone’s definition of “family friendly.”
