Kids just ‘three clicks’ from adult videos on YouTube
Children who watch Peppa Pig or Sesame Street on YouTube are an average of just three clicks away from explicit adult material on the site, according to new research.
Clips showing graphic footage such as nudity or violence were found in the recommended videos list displayed after popular kids’ TV programmes had been viewed.
Meanwhile campaigners have urged that children as young as five should be given lessons in how to use the internet safely.
