| 10 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “Okay. You are quite right. So Google Classroom, Show My Homework and Satchel One—these are some of the big volume players. They do not direct you to a walled garden. They direct you to a video on open YouTube as a general rule.” | 43 |
| 10 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “I will ask you to write to us because we will be writing to our constituents who will be very interested to hear. Thank you.” | 25 |
| 10 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “Speaking of writing to us, I do not expect you to have an answer to this one right now but there is an ad campaign that, Garth, you may have seen since you have been in the UK, including in the Westminster underground station of late, which says that something like 83% of parents think that YouTube helps—your PR team w…” | 137 |
| 10 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “I understand. Thank you. Now, there is a lot of great content on YouTube—I think that is unarguable—but it is a bit like saying there is a lot of balanced discussion on social media. It is true, but there is also an awful lot of other stuff, and the great content is not necessarily what you see. We just had a little co…” | 174 |
| 10 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “Okay. I do not want to be too pushy here, but I do not think I have heard anybody come up with a number or a rough proportion—is it a tiny proportion? We know it is not most, right?” | 39 |
| 10 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “Do we know what proportion of families are using some form of these controls, given that it is complicated and there are multiple systems? You might have an Apple device and a Samsung device and a PC, and you might have three children of three different ages and all the rest of it. Who actually manages to do some of th…” | 62 |
| 10 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “It did not sound like it; it sounded like an in-school product to me.” | 14 |
| 10 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “If we take the set of things that are not made by, let’s say BBC and Channel 5—I don’t know which other production houses we would want to have on that list—actually, what proportion is covered by the BBC and Channel 5, for a start, as we have talked about them most in this session, within the Made for Kids category?” | 61 |
| 10 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “No, if you are 13 or over, I am trying to establish whether there is a significant proportion of children for whom parents have set some controls. I will ask you about your shorts; in fact, you might as well answer that at the same time. You talked already about the timer for the shorts feed. How many people have actua…” | 63 |
| 10 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “First, you would need to know there is distinction between shorts and everything else. Then you would need to know that Google and YouTube are the same company. Then you would need to be taking a break from setting TikTok and Instagram controls to worry about YouTube. Then you would need to work out how you do it. Then…” | 103 |
| 10 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “Why have you not given a plug for Google Classroom, by the way?” | 13 |
| 10 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “Thank you.” | 2 |
| 10 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “I am sure you do read the data that you see from, for example, the Ofcom research. The BBC has some research that suggests really quite large numbers of children under that age are watching YouTube.” | 36 |
| 10 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “So your clear policy is that there should be literally nobody—no child under the age of 13—using regular YouTube?” | 19 |
| 10 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “Does that perturb you in any way?” | 7 |
| 10 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “It is off by default, not disabled?” | 7 |
| 10 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “Thank you very much. Just on this thing about the system inferring the age of the child. It is true, though, is it not, that there are literally hundreds of thousands of children in this country who have an apparent digital age higher than their actual age? We know that from Ofcom research and other research. Can I ask…” | 102 |
| 10 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “Okay. You think there is nobody under 13 watching YouTube regular?” | 11 |
| 10 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “I am coming to that.” | 5 |
| 10 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “Just give us a rough answer.” | 6 |
