YouTube and other online platforms have appeared in several reports in recent days from Europe, the Czech-Slovak space, and the wider discussion on children's digital habits. More recent articles added to the topic with V4 political communication and a test of age controls on social networks in Australia. ct24.ceskatelevize.cz ↗

In the Slovak context, YouTube is mentioned in connection with an interview with the Speaker of the National Council of the Slovak Republic, Richard Raši, about the Slovak presidency of the V4. Raši stated that the Visegrad Four is undergoing a restart and should focus on topics on which its members are able to agree. The program is also available on YouTube and podcast platforms. teraz.sk ↗

In the Czech and Slovak context, domestic YouTube content creation also remains a topic. The platform was founded in 2005, and over 21 years many creators who reach large audiences have emerged on the Slovak and Czech scene. YouTube also appeared in a travel context, when a tourist from the Philippines visited Bratislava in a video, and the article noted that many tourists in the region head mainly to Vienna, Prague, Budapest, or Kraków.

Digital platforms are also a topic when it comes to protecting children. The Australian government stated that major online platforms failed a test of user age verification. Cabinet advisors set up 50 trial accounts declaring an age of 16, and of the ten platforms examined, only the Australian streaming service Kick directly prompted users to prove their age. El Mundo ↗

The developments show that YouTube and other platforms remain part of political communication, media consumption, and the regulation of young users' access. France24 ↗
