YouTube age restricts video highlighting Wikipedia’s bias: YouTube placed an age restriction on veteran journalist John Stossel’s April 2022 video “Wikipedia’s Bias” which highlights Wikipedia’s extreme leftist bias. “This video may be inappropriate for some users,” the YouTube notification covering the video reads. Users must log in and verify their age before viewing. It is unclear how long the age restriction had been on the two year old video. It is important to note that age restrictions place significant limitations on YouTube videos. Documentarian and CEO of Good Kid Productions Rob Montz explained this concern in an op-ed for The Daily Wire after YouTube age-restricted one of his videos in December of 2022. “In practice, age restriction is a death knell: The video can’t be embedded on external websites; viewers have to sign in before they can watch it; and it receives scant – if any – boost from YouTube’s recommendation algorithm, which is a crucial source of views,” Montz said.
