I use a combination of:

- https://letsblock.it/ and Ublock Origin

- The Unhook plugin for Firefox

- Blocking channels on my YouTube account when I see something inappropriate

- Adguard Home also blocks certain channels

to try to moderate the YouTube content for my kids. It's not perfect, but it does get rid of a lot of garbage (like YouTube Shorts).

My 6 year olds class were given a chromebook with youtube installed just as an app, zero filtering, zero adimn controls from our end.

It's like no one in the loop: teachers, IT providers, local / government procurement, big tech companies, etc thought to ask themselves if it was a good idea for kids to roam unrestricted on a site where anyone can post anything.

Not to mention the constant barrage of video advertising in the classroom.

Bonkers.
