Has anyone else had youtube advert thats frankly a bit disturbing. It essentially says 'the police know what site you use, its illegal to have a sexual conversation with anyone under 16, its a game of roulette and you will lose'

wtf? I only use this site and only with a vpn. There was someone on here claiming to be 19 but after a few 'hi's' and nothing else he claimed to be 14. I ok thanks bud good luck and reported his ass.

It's cheaper to place an advert to discourage, than actually tackle an issue.

Sounds like you might have something to hide. And that VPN won’t hide you from the law’s tech should they want to investigate

Sounds like a phishing ad, looking to "rip off" (Fab censored the word I wanted to use here!) anyone who thinks it's genuine.

Ignore. As long as you are breaking any laws you have nothing to fear

thx all - nothing to hide just concerned re my own safety

I wonder how many others have been approached by someone claiming they are older then only to turn around and say oh btw I'm 14yo - does that bother you - yes it f'ing does.

I don't get messages like that when I use YouTube.

I don't subscribe, and I only use it for background music when a visitor comes round.

Maybe the BBC should start having adverts. Sounds like this could have been a useful warning to some of their employees.

I don't see any adverts on YouTube due to using adblockers on Firefox...

If you watch YouTube on an Android box or Fire Stick, install Smart Tube to get rid of all the adverts. Don't pay YouTube with your time or money.

Unfortunately its not the original YouTube anymore, which was great! Google purchased it years ago and since then it has gone to the dogs! How do they expect you to watch/listen to music video with adverts cutting into it every few minutes! It's become a worthless product now. Thankfully their are other online video/music platforms that still work.
