Also, a possible reason the big Youtubers haven't said anything about it is because they likely are doing their own research and hired their own lawyers to determine if their kind of content is safe. They probably got the conclusion that they shouldn't have anything to worry about.

Notice it's a lot of the smaller Youtubers saying that it's a big threat. They likely aren't able to afford lawyers and just do research on their own and come up with the conclusion that it's a scary thing.

I think it might be more along the lines that most of the big Youtubers haven't responded is because they are too busy producing their normal content. Other than that, I fully expect an Angry Joe meltdown within the next few weeks. Hell, Boogie2988 went 100% into Francis mode in his newest video he released last night and it is a true shit show to behold. Yeah, he's in his character, but you can tell these are his legit emotions and he is PISSED at the FTC for real. This is an emotional meltdown of epic proportions. I hope he seeks therapy (and I hope the FTC backs the hell off):

Of course, prohibition or limitation on profiteering from children's content has usually meant the end of children's content.
That's why Saturday morning cartoons died, along with a mass exodus to cable where the "E/I" rules don't matter.

@Questionmarktarius

Yeah, I remember growing up and having Saturday morning cartoons (and even Sunday morning cartoons) as well as weekday afternoon cartoons after school and then, because of all the legal bullshit that started happening, all of that faded away (all that was left was during the mid to late 2000's was Fox's Saturday morning line up, which eventually devolved into them just running reruns of old cartoons, not new content. Also left was the CW Saturday morning line-up which had mostly reruns of older cartoons with a few new episodes of YugiOh and whatever else. The few new CW content was also on cable, so it wasn't exclusive. Then it all just went away completely by the very early 2010's).

This sucked horribly for any kid stuck in a poor family who couldn't afford cable and only had the regular channels. The worst part was what replaced all of those cartoons. The weekday afternoon cartoons got replaced with a bunch of shitty talk shows meant for adults (Jerry Springer type rip-off shows with a bunch of hillbilly cousins having an affair and stuff like Maury Povich where some girl who slept with 20 guys is trying to figure out who her babys daddy is).

The Saturday morning cartoons got replaced with news meant for adults (where the news reports would go over horrible things like some guy murdering his wife and kids definitely not kid appropriate stuff).

The Sunday morning cartoons got replaced with more news shows with more news stories about people being murdered and a bunch of shitty infomercials selling mops and brooms and stuff. None of these programs were children appropriate and any kids without cable (the poor kids) were screwed since there pretty much was no more kids programming on regular TV thanks to the government stepping in and fucking everything up with their E/I demands which fucked over profitability for kids programming, as well as placing shitty limitations on the non-cable networks. Sadly, I see the same thing happening on Youtube. I sadly expect almost all the kids videos (especially the really good videos. Not the Elsa shit, but the really good stuff that kids love on Youtube) to go away because of what the FTC is going to do to Youtube.

On a side note, the dumb ass relatives of the kid were blaming the local authorities (and that local authorities should have to PAY for it) for the kid being in danger after the kid, with leg restraints on his legs, escaped from the local authorities and put himself in danger while he was trying to run from police. LMAO.... LMAO!!!:

So what the fuck? Are the relatives going to try to sue local authorities and / or the county because the murderer temporary escaped custody and they felt their 13 year old murderer was in danger during that time? Can they even sue for something as bullshit like that?

@Bluebomber182

I'm not a huge fan of the guy, but this story doesn't add up at all and it very much sounds like someone is trying to frame him for something he didn't do.

@solosnake

I was thinking the same thing. Something doesn't seem right about all of this. This honestly sounds like someone is setting him up.
