iMJaystation Controversy

It's already the first month of the new year and there are tons of big outside situations going on like it's a un-smooth start of the year and especially that the COPPA already started kicking in starting the first day of this month. What's probably scummy is how iMJaystation posts videos and gets around the revised COPPA law. Below is the list of scummy actions he had done:
  • His videos are most likely aimed at kids or so although certain videos had gone quite far with Dark Web stuff.
  • The equipment and acting are sort of obvious with videos that do kid-manipulation at their end.
  • I don't know if those things from Dark Web were actually purchased for the videos or not.
  • Monetization of videos that are aimed at kids and especially for the obvious video thumbnails and titles as workarounds against the revised COPPA law.
  • ImJaystation faking death of his girlfriend or maybe falsely thinking that his girlfriend was dead or some sort?
There may be more scummy things iMJaystation had done that the list above may be incomplete and to come up with such workarounds against the revised COPPA rules by putting a bunch of inappropriate things as video borders or inappropriate video thumbnails on the kid-friendly video for instance are definitely wrong for sure. It's like he's challenging the revised COPPA rules for YouTube so you don't have to that the machine learning thing will think that his videos are not appropriate for kids because of such workarounds. Don't even think of coming up with the workarounds as he does for your own videos yourself. If your video is supposed to be family-friendly as you plan it to be, then make it family-friendly and set it as Not Made for Kids. Shame that we've been full of false worries even until the present time.
If the COPPA rules for YouTube taking effect at the month's start weren't enough to get the YouTubers who make money off their videos concerned, the scummy actions of imJaystation should. The worse case scenario is that we may be the ones punished instead of that scumbag under those rules or whatnot and he can get away with those scummy videos of his like a millionaire-to-be out of a crime movie.
Right now, iMJaystation has been called out on the internet but I don't know if he's going to realize his actions or not. SomeOrdinaryGamers has been making and posting videos about him but I expect the impact of calling out iMJaystation to be bigger than ever. Also, the Dark Web to me is one big reason iMJaystation should be called out as that kind of web is notorious in many ways. It's used by cyber-criminals and they use the privacy protection tools as nefarious excuses to access the dark web undetected and un-tracked.
Since iMJaystation's videos are like aimed for kids or something, there's a chance that kids will take time to realize his nefarious actions by the time they grow up or so.
For videos that are set to "Made for Kids", there will be lesser options than ever even before the revised COPPA rules for YouTube took effect on the beginning of this month. The flaw is that you can still share such videos like that on social media by copying the address of them and then including them in your social media post. I don't know if that goes against the rules or something and especially that even schools use those videos for educational purposes.
