YouTube keeps getting into trouble. Now the problem is COPPA, the Child Online
Privacy Protection Act of 1998.

regular videos and private information is collected.
YouTube may have to segregate the kids’ section completely,
and turn off autoplay, at least for the kids.
Here is a Think Progress summary.
