Sometimes there are ads for alcohol or gambling on video clearly aimed at children. This is probably not legal in UK, and it's something I'm going to raise with regulators next year.

In general you should probably allow people to opt out of alcohol ads.

Or violent films.

It's weird that the film has an age rating; the ad has an age rating; the content has a much younger age rating; but YouTube can't see that many parents don't want an 18 / 15 movie ad on content they're showing to their children.

That's why Youtube Kids for the iPad/iPhone is nice. None of that. Does that not exist on AppleTV?
