While a disturbing amount of really gross child-fetish videos exist on YouTube, the termination of Toy Freaks is still a win, even when we consider how long it actually took the company to shut it down. Corporate greed is a frightening thing.
YouTube terminated a channel with over 8.5 million subscribers; Toy Freaks – who made creepy videos aimed at kids. Biggest channel termination, ever. pic.twitter.com/j04BQSFS6L

THE TOY FREAKS GUY.
Good riddance. If you have a toddler & occasionally use YouTube as a parenting tool — do not fucking @ me, I deleted it, parenting is hard — the algorithm has shown this dreck to your kids. https://t.co/UG69cNApIl

Toy Freaks removal apparently the biggest channel termination ever. But why did it take us flagging its videos for action to be taken? @Google had to have known that one of its most popular channels was posting exploitative, shocking (and monetised) content for years. https://t.co/mJJRQefEqQ

Finally, a WIN for the good guys! Youtube has taken down one of the most disturbing and disgusting cult/pedo grooming channels "Toy Freaks". I was the "good baby" who was tortured and made to cry. This isn't acting, this is child abuse #Elsagate #pizzagate https://t.co/XyZvd0lyIa

YouTube is going hard against the fucked up "Kids channels", first Toy Freaks terminated and now Webs and Tiaras. Kids channels with videos meant to traumatize children are so scared that they're now deleting their videos

Hopefully the company will stay true to their “values,” which include removing videos harmful to viewers and especially children. Regardless of how much bank they are making off them.
