RE: Tron to Acquire Steemit, Inc.?

Connecting:

How do they connect a channel with a person?

Phone Numbers?

Will they simply connect the channel to emails, phone numbers, to voice recognition, facial recognition, to artificial intelligence (AI) prediction, certain keywords, certain usernames correlated with alleged birth certificates, identification documents (I.D.), certain titles, certain words, certain patterns, certain videos, certain photos, certain pattern algorithm pre-crime perspective, etc, etc, etc, and/or will they, you know, speaking of violating the fourth amendment, other amendments, etc....

4th Amendment?????

.......but especially the 4th amendment on privacy, which they already do....

IP Addresses??????

....will they also cross-reference IP Addresses of the YouTube channels with the databases, the collections from the NSA, CIA, FBI, internet service providers (ISP), domain name servers (DNS), global service providers (GSP), etc, etc, in order predict and perhaps verify the identities of the actual uploaders beyond what might be proxies, that virtual private networks (VPN), etc?

Proxies

People do sometimes try to use proxies, etc, to hide their identities. So, sometimes, a video might be uploaded to a public library.

What About Libraries?

A guy may go to the library and upload a video there. So, I wonder what COPPA would do with that.

Interrogating Librarians?

Do you interrogate the library? What if the library has a policy to purge and remove all of the cache, all of the cookies, to the activities of the computers there? What if they don't have security cameras?

Removing Amendments, One By One

Again, will we ever get the 4th amendment back? Will they destroy the 2nd amendment next? And then the first amendment?

There Are Kids in my Videos

I have my home videos on YouTube. I was ten years old in some of them, that is a few days before my eleventh birthday in 1996 in Forest Grove, Oregon, USA. So, will I go to jail for uploading videos of a kid named me?

Who is Joey Arnold?

By the way, hundreds of people are named Joey Arnold. My name is Joey Arnold. So, if they went after me, how do they know that it is me and not another Joey Arnold? What if somebody steals my identity? Do I still have to go to court or will they go after the robbers, the thieves, the criminals who stole my identity?

Purpose of COPPA

It seems that the main purpose of COPPA was to go after people who share the private information of the minors, of the children, of the kids, of the teens, of the pre-adults. Technically, in reality, and even legally, YouTubers are not doing that.

YouTube, Not YouTubers

Now, YouTube, the website itself has done that. But the actual YouTubers don't, generally speaking.

Lying About Their Age

One of the main problems is when a kid lies about his or her age and makes an account on YouTube. So, it seems that COPPA is upset about that. The problem seems to be that. And that has nothing to do with the YouTubers themselves. So, kids can lie about their age and make accounts before they are 13 or 18 or 21 or whatever it is. For many websites, you have to be at least 13 years old.

Many Nine Year Olds

But there are many nine year olds on YouTube. So, COPPA seems to be going after that fact.

Ads Targeting Children

Part of the problem is in regards to what kind of ads might be presented to the kids who are not supposed to be there in the first place. And they try to blame the ads on the videos that the ads play on. Google, Facebook, etc, sell cookies, metadata, etc, to advertisers. So, that means that the info of the minors are sent to the advertisers.

Why Target The Uploaders????

So, they like target the uploaders of the videos that have the ads.

Not My Fault. Not Your Fault....

But the YouTubers are not generally responsible for the ads and the problem is mostly that the kids are on YouTube. But that's not the fault of the YouTubers. See, the YouTubers didn't force the children to lie about their age to make accounts. If anybody is at fault, it is children. Or at least the parents or whoever's computer were used to access YouTube during the creation of the accounts. Some kids even upload videos as well.
