This is a petition meant to protect our kids from an incredibly disturbing worldwide phenomenon called ElsaGate, which continues to be powered by its host, the YouTube Kids App. For anybody who does not know what ElsaGate is, ElsaGate is a real internet phenomenon where bootleg versions of popular children's franchises are mass-uploaded to YouTube's main website.

Inevitably, these bootlegs often show up on the app, and these videos almost always contain violent or otherwise obscene themes, including but NOT LIMITED to:

SWAT teams, maggot fetishes, cannibalism, scat/urine cartoons, abortion fetishes and pregnancy fetishes, duct tape, kidnapping and pedophilia, guns, knives and weapons, and many other fetishes and themes which are actually aimed TOWARDS children.

So what is YouTube's solution? Hiring a ridiculous amount of human reviewers to police what is allowed. Why WON'T YouTube just eliminate their kids app, even with all the disgruntled parents and national headlines and news coverage warning others about ElsaGate? Because YT Kids is a major cash cow for YouTube, and kids give them more money and view time than adult users do.

Enough is enough.

YouTube Kids needs to be permanently SHUT DOWN, pulled off of its app store markets, and the entire YouTube corporation should hang their heads in shame.

Don't download their YT Kids 'update'. Don't support a greedy, careless corp by giving them your cash; instead, cancel ALL paid plans on any YT services you have, uninstall all YT Apps (YT Kids, regular YT, YT Music, YT Red, etc) from every device in your house.

Also try to avoid clicking on their website or videos linking to YouTube, as they still earn money from adverts and usage traffic.
