I forget exactly what I was searching for, but it had the word young in it. Google told me this is illegal and refused to do it.
Scared me off the whole Internet for like 2 days.
YouTube won't let me search for music by musician unless I remove the word "naked" from her name

Same here, but on a different site ahem. The actor is literally listed under that name, so looking them up needs an actual query engineering to avoid looking like a pedo.

When I try and look up the band “Suicidal Tendencies” the only thing I get is a suicide hotline message. It’s so fucking stupid

I have a similar problem when I try to search for “Codi Vore” on porn sites. I’m often greeted with an error message, " why are you searching for vore, you sick fuck"?
She doesn’t even do vore, that’s just her porn name.

they definitely have the resources to whitelist valid combinations, but some shirt ran the numbers and decided it wouldn’t bring enough money in

Hey if it’s good enough for the federal government to use to kill scientific studies, then it’s good enough for them

Playing devil’s rusted avocado, if I know anything about mature content submissions, they’ll latch onto any whitelisted combo as soon as it’s discovered and dilute the actual desired content.
skisnow@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
but that’s also true of literally any other keyword out there. They wouldn’t particularly be driving any more traffic since that’s not what the user was searching for, they’d just be getting their whole site delisted.

a while back I was looking for someone named “Molly Green” on Instagram and they said “we cannot complete this request. here are addiction treatment resources”

A while back I sent my buddy a TikTok with the comment “this fucking killed me” and got an “if you are thinking about hurting yourself, here is the suicide prevention hotline” automated warning in the chat.

If google believes I’ll find porn by looking up “naked” on youtube thu problem might be tht they forgot their content filters… Not the search

Do a video search with “site:youtube.com” on the various Web search engines that have a video search.

You don’t need to use YouTube’s search engine to search YouTube.
AbsolutelyClawless@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
YT’s own search is garbage anyway. Whenever I try to use it, it’s completely useless. Language preferences are also non-existent anymore, it seems. Even if I set everything to English and the query is also in English, it still gives me only results in local language.
SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
I really hope those kids they have saved never realize they themselves are naked below their clothing. They’d instantly die fatally of lethal shock.
SalmonTractor@discuss.tchncs.de 3 weeks ago
Insane how weighted response filtering and graph search have existed for eons, to say nothing about the fact the search query could be pre-parsed by an LLM/“AI”, and only now do these moronic companies use hard keyword filters.
Makes you wonder if it’s really “for the children” or just attempts at hard-censoring to train their future AI models.
Funkt4st1c@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Repeat after me: It’s NEVER about the children. It’s ALWAYS about control. The EPSTEIN class cares not for your children except how to exploit them and profit off your compliance.
SalmonTractor@discuss.tchncs.de 3 weeks ago
100%. Everything they say should always be inverted.
titanicx@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
They’ve been censoring stuff like this for years and years before llms even existed man. People are like so up in arms about ai and all the bullshit there that they forget about how things were even 3 years ago. If you notice one of the biggest things on here is the dude isn’t signed in if you’re not signed in then it’s going to ask if you’re legit or not.
boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks ago
Uh that user was saying that AI would be an improvement over hard keyword filters… and YouTube is an AI company so they should in fact know that

Facebook marketplace wouldn’t let me search for an LSD for my car, I had to search for a limited slip differential, which gave me a ton of results for posts that had “LSD” in the listing.

Searching for music from Psychedelic porn crumpets on youtube is also fun!
A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip 3 weeks ago
Psychedelic porn crumpets
no results
Such fun!
They even renamed their channel to Psychedelic Prn Crumpets
I think youtube just wants more people to create accounts, to force more and more views to be tied to IDable users.

springbok nude girls?
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
If you search “springbok girls”, you get about 50/50 results of them and the South Africa women’s national rugby team 😄

Yeah only think of the children, how traumatized they get when they realize nakedness exists. /s
cosmos8188@leminal.space 3 weeks ago

JennaR8r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
It says “confirm your age.” Are you under 18? Would it give valid search results to someone over 18?

If we start using lbry instead of youtube, we wouldnt have that problem…
SaltySalamander@fedia.io 3 weeks ago
If those who have even heard about LBRY all started exclusively using it today, youtube wouldn't even feel the traffic drop.
PrincessCory@lemmy.wtf 2 weeks ago
That is exactly the problem. I wander why much better platform is one that majority of people didnt even heard of. And much worse platform is the one that eweryone uses…?
Shouldnt we compare two by technology and see whic one is better instead of just using the popular one…? Because diference is huge!

ChaosCatWitch@feddit.online 3 weeks ago
I assumed that was “Ibry” and not “LBRY.” Is it the former or the latter?

The characters in the comment are “LBRY.”
HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 3 weeks ago
Music companies have a revenue sharing deal with YouTube. Does it have one with lbry?
PrincessCory@lemmy.wtf 3 weeks ago
The problem is, people dont understand technology, and dont know to chose better technology. They just pick more popular platform, despite its much worse technology.
Than, when they get in trouble with censorship because of that, demonetisacion and other stuff, they just scratch their head, feel bad and dont know what to do…
But if you researc a bit about that problem, you can find out that its alredy been solved, and that is LBRY content freedom platform that technicly works totaly diferent from youtube but serves same purpose.
PrincessCory@lemmy.wtf 3 weeks ago
No but LBRY have its own economy system, so musicions are getting paied, probably much more than on youtube…
I know many youtubers that sad they are earning more on LBRY with less followers than on youtube with more folowers.

Anything special about your account?
Family Link restriction or so?I also haven’t seen a “confirm your age” message up to now.
Maybe a country-specific restriction?

Okay, I see, didn’t notice the “login” on the screenshot before.
But then it kinda makes sense that the the most restrictive default filters are active.
