If you have a Youtube channel and you post model railway videos (any video actually) you need to be aware of the COPPA regulations and how Youtube are introducing this from 1st January 2020
Basically its child protection legislation introduced in the US some time ago.
Youtube got a massive fine for falling foul of this legislation and are now putting the responsibility onto its youtube creators to declare that their vids are suitable for children or not.
There is much information on the internet regarding this legislation so you need to read up, however youtube are advising you to seek the advice of a lawyer if you are not sure............!!!!
As a result many model rail vid creators are deleting content and closing down their channels as there is the possibility that you could be fined over $40,000 for each video you post.
