For Kids or Not for Kids? How YouTube is being unclear with creators about FTC COPPA laws

YouTube (the actual entity that collects data on everyone who
uses it) is trying to shift blame on their data collecting of
minors to individual creators by parsing videos into only two
categories: for kids or not for kids & not providing a middle
ground (for general audiences) which most channels fall under.
  They are NOT BEING honest, realistic, or transparent
about the FTC fines & COPPA (Children's Online Privacy
Protection Act) law, how compliance actually works, and are
dodging having to fix their broken system by shifting the blame
from their data collection of 12 and under (which they have
control of) to creators because of a few bad acting channels. You
can fight back! What YouTube has told you is very unclear and
misleading.  COPPA clearly DOES NOT consider "General
Audience" or "Mixed audience" videos such as gaming, animation,
or vlogs that both adults and children might enjoy to be in the
"directed at children" category. You are only in that category if
YOU ARE DIRECTLY AND PURPOSELY directing and targeting children
as your audience. YouTube is not taking this into account and the
burden should be on them to update their data collection
techniques.  This whole fiasco is leaving many channel
creators highly disturbed and upset and some even quitting their
channels all together. Don't take this lying down - fight back
for YouTube to institute a true general audience or mixed
categorization that actually represents and complies with COPPA
without throwing creators under the bus.  Educate yourself
