Child exploitation over YouTube is nothing new, and even has its own hashtag: #Elsagate, named after a character in the 2013 Disney animated film Frozen. Most famous for these "soft core pedo porn" videos was the "Seven Super Girls" channel, which is still active.
The sexually suggestive videos were brought to light by comedian Daniel Tosh in a 2017 segment on Tosh.0.
Walt Disney Co. is said to have pulled its advertising spending from YouTube, joining other companies including Nestle SA, after a blogger detailed how comments on Google’s video site were being used to facilitate a “soft-core pedophilia ring.” Some of the videos involved ran next to ads placed by Disney and Nestle.
All Nestle companies in the U.S. have paused advertising on YouTube, a spokeswoman for the company said Wednesday in an email. Video game maker Epic Games Inc. and German packaged food giant Dr. August Oetker KG also said they had postponed YouTube spending after their ads were shown to play before the videos.
At first glance, the Seven Super Girls YouTube homepage, arguably, looks like one’s favorite porn site. Each under-18 girl has her own subchannel. To the unwitting, however, the site may look like girls dressed like girls, engaging in activities which girls enjoy — going to camp, hanging with friends by the pool, and playing dress up.
But to a pedophile, the site is a smorgasbord of smut, carefully crafted to serve as eye candy for adults and teenagers to indulge in their child-sex fantasies.

It seems that this issue has been widely known about for over a year but Youtube didn't address the issue (maybe they were to busy going after firearm and Christian videos?).

Pulling ads is all fine and dandy, but how about doing something that actually matters, like investigating why and how youtube can't seem to "address" this issue when they can jump on a video with a "bad meme" within hours.
Heads should be rolling down the youtube HQ, that's when people should celebrate.
Not when a few companies pull ads.

It's funny. This whole Corporatocracy.
The biggest monopoly in the world for videos on the internet won't make any drastic changes until big Corporations pull their investments in advertising.
So there you have it, folks.
That is who runs this country.

The Elsa-gate incident is still ongoing and YouTube wants to go after conspiracy theory videos instead.

The Youtube channel is active when I just checked it and has 9,477,229 subscribers.
Because the left has no problems with this at all... just another way of working P for pedophile into the LGBTQ coalition.
Since it's up and running, I think YouTube is just fine with it.
Like THIS photo, just something from the everyday life of a prepubescent kid...
Just a sign of where our country is going.
If you can't kill them early, exploit them as soon as you can...
Blah.
