No video of them reading out, "How about, 'While AI art is a controversial topic, it is in the public interest that all forms of expression are considered. That said, this argument may not prevent you from being removed from the hall, and it is important to respect event staff and law enforcement?'"

The thing is, the point of things being flagged for kids isn't to protect children, it's for plausible deniability. Children are the people primarily watching and being influenced by Youtube ads. But it's in neither Youtube nor their advertisers interests to acknowledge this.

It's pretty clear that Trump is not anomolous - he's the logical end result of decades of Republican politics. I think what jumps out to me is just how broken American media has turned out to be. "Unbiased reporting" is less than empty platitude. Media w/out an agenda turns out to be a lie.
