In an email to parents who supervise a child’s account, the company announced the introduction of a “read-only” comments option on their child’s supervised experience on YouTube.

The change is one of the biggest adjustments to YouTube’s parental control features since the introduction of increased protections for minors in 2021 following increased pressure from lawmakers.

Previously, both reading and commenting were not available to kids. However, YouTube said at the time it would work with parents and experts to add comments through an age-appropriate approach for older kids in the future.
