ID? No Grazi!

YouTube's using an AI verification system to check people's ages. Sounds bad, doesn't it? Well, they're also going to try to use your ID to identify if you're under 18.
This of course goes against Internet safety, because a very important rule is to never give your personal info to anyone. By doing this, YouTube is violating the rules of the web, and thus, action needs to be taken. One could boycott the site and spark a lot of things, one could encourage people to spread the word...
I'm not either of those ones.
I want to make a bigger change. One bigger and better than anything else.
No, I want a new YouTube CEO, asap. Either that, or a YouTube without a CEO.
A YouTube where the employees practically run the place. It'd definitely be better, and it'd be unionized.

Why is this important?

As I've already stated before, YouTube has somehow broken the greatest internet rule: never give out personal info. A person shouldn't have to risk their info just to watch a funny meme compilation.
When I was younger, I had listened to a story on ABCya! A story about the Cyber 5.
In this story, 2 friends, Hippo and Hedgehog, had went over 5 simple rules to be smart on the Internet. The one I've followed to a fault, was to never give out personal info.
Personal info includes your first & last names, your age, your credit card number, your driver's license- practically everything that involves you. You can give it out to those who are trusted.
And a megacorporation cannot be trusted. Thank 1984 for teaching me that!
