Thoughts on YouTube disabling comments on videos featuring young children?

I support the idea

I'd rather the paedos could be seen rather than drive them further underground with censorship...

@Quizzical The issue was they were using the comment section to network with each other, exchanging timestamps of children in compromising positions and then moving onto links. Watch even part of the video I linked in the thread which explains how this problem functions.

@CountScrofula So rather than censor altogether surely a reporting function would be better which YouTube can pass onto the authorities and maybe get this scum off the streets?

Prevent communication and they will still find a way to do it but it would be harder to trace.
