"content": "\u003cp>YouTube is disabling comments on millions of videos featuring minors, responding to accusations that pedophiles use comments to network and share links. The move comes a week after Disney, Fortnite maker Epic Games and other companies pulled their ads from YouTube. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>YouTube says it has already disabled comments on \"tens of millions of videos that could be subject to predatory behavior,\" and that it will broaden that effort in coming months to include more videos that feature young minors. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company also plans to bar comments on videos featuring older minors if they're deemed to be \"at risk\" of attracting pedophiles' attention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reflecting the delicate complexities of policing a firehose of both content and comments, reaction to \u003ca href=\"https://youtube-creators.googleblog.com/2019/02/more-updates-on-our-actions-related-to.html\">YouTube's announcement\u003c/a> ranges from those who welcome it as a responsible change and those who criticize it as heavy-handed — and possibly damaging innocent video creators. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>YouTube's new comment policy is the latest response to concerns that \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/02/22/696949013/advertisers-abandon-youtube-over-concerns-that-pedophiles-lurk-in-comments-secti\">made headlines last week\u003c/a>, when Matt Watson, a content creator on YouTube, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O13G5A5w5P0\">posted a video\u003c/a> accusing the service of \"facilitating the sexual exploitation of children.\" Some of those videos also were monetized through ads, Watson said. He also accused YouTube's algorithm of serving up new child-related videos to predators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/GettyImages-162821381-1180x785.jpg\" label=\"Internet Comments and Moderation\" link1=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11660761/child-advocates-ask-federal-trade-commission-to-investigate-youtube,Child Advocates and Consumer Groups Ask FTC to Investigate YouTube\" link2=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11685073/youtube-apple-and-facebook-ban-infowars-which-decries-mega-purge,YouTube, Apple and Facebook Ban Infowars, Which Decries 'Mega Purge'\" link3=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11664645/facebook-discloses-how-it-decides-to-censor-posts,Facebook Discloses How It Decides to Censor Posts\" link4=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11702239/why-its-so-hard-to-scrub-hate-speech-off-social-media,Why It's So Hard to Scrub Hate Speech Off Social Media\"]\u003cbr>\nWatson's video touched off a number of reactions — from anger and disgust at predators, to questions about how the company should stop the misuse of its service. Within the community of YouTube creators, there also were warnings that if advertisers flee and YouTube adopts a broad shift, it could bring a new \"Adpocalypse\" similar to that of 2016 and 2017, when advertisers fled the service and it moved against content that included hate speech and extremism. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The firestorm was touched off last week, after Watson described what he called \"a wormhole into a soft-core pedophilia ring,\" in which predators hijack comment sections to highlight video frames or footage that could be seen as sexualizing children in otherwise innocuous videos. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some cases, the pedophiles have shared links to child pornography. In others, they simply sent one another to videos that showed children performing gymnastics, eating or playing with makeup. As they formed a shadow social media network, Watson said, the predators even shared contact info with each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Watson posted his video about the problem, YouTube advertisers such as Disney, Nestle, AT&T and Hasbro hit pause on their ad spending, saying they needed to act to protect their brands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That has led some creators to label the incident \"Adpocalypse 2\" — and they vented their anger at both YouTube for its approach and Watson for the way in which he raised the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Your platform is very sophisticated at predicting what will keep an individual clicking and watching more videos,\" Twitter user Tay Zonday \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/YouTube/status/1101182097719345152\">wrote in response to YouTube's statement\u003c/a>. \"It tracks more than 1,000 data points on each person. That same AI can be deployed to expose, purge and report bad actors. Blaming content is knee-jerk and imperfect.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/YouTube/status/1101182097719345152\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others called for YouTube to track offenders and report them to the police. Critics have also said the issues Watson raised are ones that YouTube and its community have been working for years to address. And after Watson called out others for their impropriety, his own character also has been questioned. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Watson published his attack on YouTube on a relatively new account — but his critics soon found an older account, where he had posted videos about picking up women, including a segment in which he yells out of a car window to a backpack-wearing girl or young woman on the sidewalk, \"Hi. Interested in shooting an adult video?\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The videos were \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLsYQYHHqoM\">highlighted by Daniel Keem\u003c/a>, also known as Keemstar, the host of YouTube channel DramaAlert, who called them \"very, very creepy.\" He also disagreed with Watson's call for big marketers to pull ads from YouTube.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If advertisers leave YouTube, this isn't going to stop the pedos in the comments section,\" Keem said in a video posted last week. \"This is just going to hurt the livelihood of YouTubers big and small.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQQLLAQrbpg\">Watson said\u003c/a> the videos were from a \"comedy channel\" in which he filmed pranks in public. And he accused Keem of trying to distract people from issues around YouTube's comment and advertising policies. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm cool with what I did,\" Watson said of his video about predators on YouTube, adding that he had accomplished more than he expected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it announced its policy update Thursday, YouTube said it has already removed millions of objectionable comments and that it worked to create a new \"classifier\" to tag and remove predatory comments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This classifier does not affect the monetization of your video,\" the service added in its note to YouTube video creators. And it said the new tag will help it \"detect and remove 2X more individual comments.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2019 \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NPR\u003c/a>. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Within the community of YouTube creators, there also were warnings that if advertisers flee and YouTube adopts a broad shift, it could bring a new \"Adpocalypse\" similar to that of 2016 and 2017, when advertisers fled the service and it moved against content that included hate speech and extremism. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The firestorm was touched off last week, after Watson described what he called \"a wormhole into a soft-core pedophilia ring,\" in which predators hijack comment sections to highlight video frames or footage that could be seen as sexualizing children in otherwise innocuous videos. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some cases, the pedophiles have shared links to child pornography. In others, they simply sent one another to videos that showed children performing gymnastics, eating or playing with makeup. As they formed a shadow social media network, Watson said, the predators even shared contact info with each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Watson posted his video about the problem, YouTube advertisers such as Disney, Nestle, AT&T and Hasbro hit pause on their ad spending, saying they needed to act to protect their brands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That has led some creators to label the incident \"Adpocalypse 2\" — and they vented their anger at both YouTube for its approach and Watson for the way in which he raised the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Your platform is very sophisticated at predicting what will keep an individual clicking and watching more videos,\" Twitter user Tay Zonday \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/YouTube/status/1101182097719345152\">wrote in response to YouTube's statement\u003c/a>. \"It tracks more than 1,000 data points on each person.

Critics have also said the issues Watson raised are ones that YouTube and its community have been working for years to address. And after Watson called out others for their impropriety, his own character also has been questioned. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Watson published his attack on YouTube on a relatively new account — but his critics soon found an older account, where he had posted videos about picking up women, including a segment in which he yells out of a car window to a backpack-wearing girl or young woman on the sidewalk, \"Hi. Interested in shooting an adult video?\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The videos were \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLsYQYHHqoM\">highlighted by Daniel Keem\u003c/a>, also known as Keemstar, the host of YouTube channel DramaAlert, who called them \"very, very creepy.\" He also disagreed with Watson's call for big marketers to pull ads from YouTube.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If advertisers leave YouTube, this isn't going to stop the pedos in the comments section,\" Keem said in a video posted last week. \"This is just going to hurt the livelihood of YouTubers big and small.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQQLLAQrbpg\">Watson said\u003c/a> the videos were from a \"comedy channel\" in which he filmed pranks in public.

"content": "\u003cp>The Democratic-led House approved another piece of legislation to broaden federal gun-control legislation Thursday. The bill gives the FBI more time to do background checks on gun purchasers. It comes a day after the chamber passed a bill extending the checks to private firearms sales, which advocates call the most significant gun control measure in more than two decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both measures face long odds at becoming law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vote on the first bill, dubbed the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019, passed largely along party lines 240-190, with Democrats who control the House cheering as they carried the legislation across the finish line.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘We were not able to get a single hearing or have a single vote in the House under the last majority. It’s a new day.’\u003ccite>California Rep. Mike Thompson\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>At a press conference ahead of its passage, the bill’s sponsor, Bay Area Democratic Rep. Mike Thompson, called it a “historic time,” adding that expanded background checks would “help save lives.” Thompson highlighted the difficulty of getting a gun control vote during the previous eight years, when the chamber was controlled by a Republican majority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were not able to get a single hearing or have a single vote in the House under the last majority. It’s a new day,” Thompson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second bill, approved on Thursday, would extend the time sellers that have to wait before completing a gun sale. Like Wednesday’s measure, it passed largely along party lines — 228-198.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thursday’s bill seeks to close the “Charleston loophole” that allowed an avowed \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/06/18/415345850/reports-eight-dead-in-shooting-at-charleston-s-c-church\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">white supremacist\u003c/a> to buy a gun used to kill nine parishioners at Mother Emanuel AME in Charleston. S.C., in 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, a gun seller has to wait three business days for federal investigators to conduct a background check. Most checks are quick, but incomplete data can sometimes cause a delayed response. If the delay lasts more than three business days, the gun sale can move forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Enhanced Background Checks Act of 2019 expands the background check period to 10 days, with the potential to be extended another 10.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics of the current system say the Charleston shooter would have been barred from obtaining the gun had investigators had more time to dig into his record and discovered his drug arrest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/GettyImages-157926585-1020x683.jpg\" label=\"Gun Control\" link1=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11727357/san-jose-proposes-new-gun-safety-measures,San Jose Proposes New Gun Safety Measures\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But gun rights groups point out that the shooter had the gun for two months before he committed his crime. They say that was more than enough time for the authorities to complete the check and order the confiscation of his newly purchased gun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An internal FBI review and a federal court judge have criticized the background checkers in that case for failing to follow up in their inquiries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As NPR reported in 2017, the shooter has been \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/01/10/509166866/jury-sentences-dylann-roof-to-die\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">convicted and sentenced\u003c/a> to death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking before the final passage, Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., the House Majority Whip, acknowledged the widow and daughters of the Rev. Clementa Pinckney, one of those victims in the 2015 massacre, seated in the House Chamber.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added by the time authorities discovered the shooter should have been ineligible to have the gun, “it was too late.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As a result those poor souls lost their lives,” Clyburn said. “Let’s give the FBI, let’s give the authorities enough time to do their jobs. We’ll save lives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most House Republicans did not support the legislation, including Rep. Doug Collins, R-Ga.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said increasing the waiting time for someone to get a gun could put victims of abuse or people seeking to defend their families in more danger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This bill will empower abusers and violent predators by making their victims more vulnerable,” Collins said. “It will do nothing to make our communities safer, but it will make it harder for law-abiding citizens to exercise their Second Amendment rights.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An amendment to give federal background checkers access to a larger criminal database called the National Data Exchange failed to get enough support, and was withdrawn. Proponents of the idea say it would make up for information gaps in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, or NICS.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/GettyImages-938447524-1020x680.jpg\" label=\"Gun Control\" link1=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11723828/americas-love-affair-with-firearms-has-got-to-end-states-democrats-vow-new-gun-control-package,America's Love Affair With Firearms Has Got to End:' State's Democrats Vow New Gun Control Package\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, as its name suggests, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019 did garner modest GOP support, even attracting five Republican co-sponsors. Yet, in the end, only eight Republicans crossed party lines to support the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, John Feinblatt, president of the anti-gun violence group Everytown for Gun Safety, praised lawmakers for “stepping up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We applaud Speaker Pelosi and the bipartisan coalition of House members who supported this bill for stepping up and doing their part to close the giant — and deadly — loopholes in America’s background checks law.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Democrats hope the swift passage of the companion bills will put pressure on the Senate to act. The National Rifle Association opposes the legislation, and it faces major headwinds in the Republican-controlled Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the unlikely event the Senate approves the measure, the White House has already signaled the president would veto the bill, should it reach his desk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

The bill gives the FBI more time to do background checks on gun purchasers. It comes a day after the chamber passed a bill extending the checks to private firearms sales, which advocates call the most significant gun control measure in more than two decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both measures face long odds at becoming law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vote on the first bill, dubbed the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019, passed largely along party lines 240-190, with Democrats who control the House cheering as they carried the legislation across the finish line.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘We were not able to get a single hearing or have a single vote in the House under the last majority. It’s a new day.’\u003ccite>California Rep. Mike Thompson\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>At a press conference ahead of its passage, the bill’s sponsor, Bay Area Democratic Rep. Mike Thompson, called it a “historic time,” adding that expanded background checks would “help save lives.” Thompson highlighted the difficulty of getting a gun control vote during the previous eight years, when the chamber was controlled by a Republican majority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were not able to get a single hearing or have a single vote in the House under the last majority. It’s a new day,” Thompson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second bill, approved on Thursday, would extend the time sellers that have to wait before completing a gun sale. Like Wednesday’s measure, it passed largely along party lines — 228-198.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thursday’s bill seeks to close the “Charleston loophole” that allowed an avowed \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/06/18/415345850/reports-eight-dead-in-shooting-at-charleston-s-c-church\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">white supremacist\u003c/a> to buy a gun used to kill nine parishioners at Mother Emanuel AME in Charleston. S.C., in 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, a gun seller has to wait three business days for federal investigators to conduct a background check. Most checks are quick, but incomplete data can sometimes cause a delayed response. If the delay lasts more than three business days, the gun sale can move forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Enhanced Background Checks Act of 2019 expands the background check period to 10 days, with the potential to be extended another 10.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics of the current system say the Charleston shooter would have been barred from obtaining the gun had investigators had more time to dig into his record and discovered his drug arrest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Environmentalists have long argued that a border wall has negative impacts on wildlife and on delicate desert and mountainous terrains. With President Trump's national emergency declaration, those concerns will only grow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than a decade ago, Congress gave the Department of Homeland Security authority to waive environmental regulations for national security reasons. The government can bypass a whole host of laws, including the Endangered Species and Clean Air Acts, in order to expedite border wall construction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That concerns environmentalists like Laiken Jordahl, with the Tucson-based Center for Biological Diversity.
