Think of the consequences<\/h3>\n<p>If you upload videos of your kids to YouTube, more than likely you\u2019ll have to face trolls sooner or later. They peruse the site, leaving ill-favored comments below popular videos, no matter how sweet, cute and innocent these recordings are. If you are wanting Internet fame, be ready to confront its opposite side: nasty comments. Look at this video. Do you like it? Do you think that it deserves all these disgusting comments below?<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"640\" height=\"390\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wKhZzGR5tYU?version=3&amp;rel=1&amp;fs=1&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;wmode=transparent\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Bernard Brunu: <\/em>She said he wants to mastubate lol<\/p>\n<p><em>reven50:<\/em> these babies belong in the trash<\/p>\n<p><em>The Asian Blubby:<\/em> In his mind: Gurl im gonna Rape you while your sleep Gurl<\/p>\n<p><em>ceo:<\/em> Stop adopt korean baby.

No one wanna that baby in korea they can adopt in abroad.<\/p>\n<p>And this is just the tip of the iceberg: we haven\u2019t dove too deep looking for the dirtiest words. It\u2019s always unpleasant to read bad things about your kids, but if you publish your records online without any access restriction, you\u2019ll surely see some.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-pullquote\"><p>Don\u2019t post public videos with your kids or get ready for viral consequences #Privacy #SocialMedia<\/p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fkas.pr%2FUN5F&amp;text=Don%26%238217%3Bt+post+public+videos+with+your+kids+or+get+ready+for+viral+consequences+%23Privacy+%23SocialMedia\" class=\"btn btn-twhite\" data-lang=\"en\" data-count=\"0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Tweet<\/a><\/blockquote>\n<p>In the next video a cute toddler is trying to say \u201cbanana\u201d, but repeatedly confuses the number of \u201cna\u201d syllables. So he pronounces either \u201cbana\u201d or \u201cbanananana.\u201d Cute, isn\u2019t it? But apart from all the positive comments, a number of unknown people keep calling the kid a \u201cstupid mushroom\u201d because of his funny hair cut. And these comments are really evil.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"640\" height=\"390\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NtWacGVBdD8?version=3&amp;rel=1&amp;fs=1&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;wmode=transparent\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Baruck Obuma:<\/em> Can you remove that dick please<\/p>\n<p><em>Cannibal potato lesbian wrote:<\/em> why is this mushroom alive and why is someone keeping it as a child.<\/p>\n<p><em>Hannah Bluhm:<\/em> The mushroom has a name?<\/p>\n<p><em>Tierney Spessard:<\/em> Shouldn\u2019t this kid be in the mushroom garden?<\/p>\n<p><em>BoonieGames (Boonie4Eva):<\/em> Obviously he cant say Banana, hes a talking mushroom!<\/p>\n<p>And finally the voice of reason! <em>HiitzJenna Roblox:<\/em> Unoriginal comments about his hair everywhere\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Eventually other users made a stand for the boy. If you look at newer videos with the kid, he is still wearing the same haircut, and people continue calling him \u201ca mushroom\u201d, but they often add \u201ca cute mushroom\u201d. In this case viewers self-regulated the situation, but really, it could end quite differently.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Ignore the trolls<\/h3>\n<p>In 2009 a father of a 7-year-old boy David posted a video on YouTube, showing his son\u2019s funny reaction to a trip to the dentist, and it went viral. The video received a lot of extremely positive comments, though there were some negative ones as well.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"640\" height=\"390\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/txqiwrbYGrs?version=3&amp;rel=1&amp;fs=1&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;wmode=transparent\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>As <a href=\"http:\/\/time.com\/4046876\/david-devore-is-going-viral-a-good-thing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">father admits<\/a>, he and his wife could not help but focus on the negative reaction\u2026 until they did a very wise thing: they both decided to ignore trolls. In the end the couple transformed an unexpected situation into a real family event and even earned some money from YouTube adds.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\"My son is 'David After Dentist\u2019\u2014and I almost took it down\" <a href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/48XRou3BJa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">http:\/\/t.co\/48XRou3BJa<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 TIME (@TIME) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TIME\/status\/648948381268709376?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">September 29, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>People on the Internet are inquisitorial indeed. Watching your videos, they will discuss your voice, what song is playing on the background and what are the things, which lay in the back of your room. They will surely share their concerns if anything in the video seems wrong to them and tell you that you are not a good parent.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, numerously calling you a gay is not a problem for them at all. All of these happened to a father who used to make fuzzy-wuzzy while playing with his son.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"640\" height=\"390\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ovLfxISJgbc?version=3&amp;rel=1&amp;fs=1&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;wmode=transparent\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Though the father was obviously disturbed by the comments, he did right: instead of focusing on each and every comment he left a note, which covers his attitude, and forgot about trolls. Here it is:<\/p>\n<p><em>This video was posted mostly for my family who are spread out across the country. Don\u2019t have any idea why this video has gotten so big. This is my oldest son, Ricky. His first word was \u201cDada.\u201d The Diet Pepsi cans in the background are not Ricky\u2019s. Yes, Mommy was playing Super Paper Mario in the background. No, I\u2019m not gay, but I sound like a weirdo when I\u2019m baby-talking to my kids. I think I\u2019ve covered all of the pertinent information now. Thanks for watching and leaving positive (or negative) comments, though I ask that you please not curse.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>3.Close comments<\/h3>\n<p>The easiest way to protect yourself from trolls is to turn off comments at all. Relatives and friends can share their reaction via chat or in person, others will only be able to like (or dislike) a video. It seems that owners of this record came to the same conclusion.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"640\" height=\"390\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9s4ADmIp_pI?version=3&amp;rel=1&amp;fs=1&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;wmode=transparent\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Judging by the note, given in the beginning of the video, haters also found fault with the kid: ears this time. What\u2019s worse, common people often ask unpleasant questions as well, just because of curiosity or \u201cfor the common good\u201d. This can be even more irritating.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Provide access to the video to a limited number of people<\/h3>\n<p>If you don\u2019t want your kid to become an Internet Meme, you should limit access to your videos. There are a few options to choose from.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"640\" height=\"390\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zaSM_xcmkOI?version=3&amp;rel=1&amp;fs=1&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;wmode=transparent\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Do you know the difference between unlisted and private videos on YouTube? These are two <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/youtube\/answer\/157177?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">privacy settings<\/a> that suit different situations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For all the world and his wife:<\/strong> by default all of your videos are public, which means that anybody can view them or find in the search results.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A not so bad setting, which can still get out of control:<\/strong> an unlisted video can be accessed by a direct link only. It means that you can send a link to your friends and relatives and they will be able to watch the video and spread it further. This is where things can go wrong.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Private video is the best option<\/strong> for a concerned parent. Private videos can be watched by you and YouTube users, whom you select and only.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Fortifying <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Facebook?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">#Facebook<\/a>: Security Settings You Need to Know <a href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/pu2fNYg1lc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">http:\/\/t.co\/pu2fNYg1lc<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/HowTo?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">#HowTo<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Kaspersky (@kaspersky) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kaspersky\/status\/459357541051682816?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">April 24, 2014<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Facebook photos, videos and posts can be and should be protected in the same manner.
