YouTube just dropped some new parental controls for Shorts! They're trying to give families tools to keep an eye on things, especially with those super short videos being so popular. Parents can now control what kids watch by blocking certain categories, setting time limits, and checking what they've been viewing.
Since Shorts are blowing up, some folks are concerned about kids seeing stuff they shouldn't or getting hooked. YouTube's trying to find a middle ground. Shorts are cool for creativity and easy watching, but some say the way videos pop up can lead kids to not-so-great content. With these new controls, YouTube is telling parents they're serious about keeping the platform kid-friendly while still letting creators do their thing.
