The issue isn't so much the content of the videos; for the most part, they could be altogether innocent and within the guidelines that YouTube, and the law, requires. The issue is the community that has developed around them.

> Ban kids uploading a video of their innocent pool party because some creeps might enjoy it? What about topless babies?

The children are unable to agree to the terms and conditions set forth by YouTube, and sadly, there is a possibility that their parent or guardian is aware of the exploitative nature of the community.

So, perhaps yes?

How is anyone being exploited here exactly?

Which means that children should not be able to upload any kind of video to youtube, but it should be fine if they upload it to say an ftp server for public domain videos that does not impose any terms and conditions, right?

Advertisement dollars are being accrued via the attention of pedophiles. That's clearly exploitative.
