Thread: Youtube age verification?

  1. Default Youtube age verification?

    I believe this is a recent change..I was just browsing some videos on youtube using the same account I've been using for years (with no issues) and I went to watch a cannabis-related video that needed 'age verification'..

    Now usually, being signed in is enough, but not any more!


    Google now wants us to either ;

    Use a credit card to verify immediately (no charge).

    or

    Use our ID, like a passport or driver's license.

    Just accept the fact that Google wants to play big brother - and treat it accordingly with a two finger salute!

    I'm actually surprised that no one mentioned the Youtube change a couple of month back that insists desktop users view a large majority of music vids on youtube rather than through the embedded post... of course, nothing to do with revenue

    There have been some other changes.... surprised Ice hasn't asked me about them as they stop him from doing a handy hack I mentioned some time back...!

    I was chewing the cud on this earlier... it seems strange how all the browser clients don't try to stop this. They could. Easily. So why aren't they?

    I don't use that 'hack' M_C..which would explain me not noticing that specifically

    I've been noticing it for a looong time, but it's escalating.

    I refuse to verify and of course, I can get around this verification very easily, however, it's an extra step to now take (pain in the arse)..seems they really are collecting as much data as they can on us..on an individual basis, not just the old 'generalised' excuse we've been hearing for many years.

    These next few years are going to be interesting..

    I have noticed it going on for a long time they are all doing it! It really does make you think that every single online app/company like facefuck and such like are all really when you get right down to the bottom of it are all just one big conglomerate. As for who is actually using our information and why that’s something i think we will never know just the same as the real reason behind it. If you haven’t used this just have a go of using this for a search engine DuckDuckGo
    Just install that and then use that to have a look for whatever it will show you exactly how many companies are actually following you that they have blocked from giving them your information. Compared to google it really does make you think wtf and how the hell are google giving my information to so many fuckers! Even google’s private search is just bollocks. Just if you haven’t tried DuckDuckGo give it a go it really does make you think we are not as secret or secure as we think. It’s a world where nothing if really private or free anymore...
