YouTube says it will launch a new privacy protection system and expand globally from January 6, 2020. With the new protection system, YouTube will determine that 'users watching children's movies are children' regardless of the age set in the account.

Determining who views a children's movie as a child means that some features related to the movie are limited. For example, children's movies will no longer show personalized ads based on the user's personal information, and will not support comments, live chat, notifications, or 'watch later' features. Many of these children's content creators will be impacted as these features are involved in monetizing movies.
