An eight-year-old's YouTube channel sparked controversy, leading to its abrupt removal.
According to Breitbart News, reality TV star Kim Kardashian recently took down her eldest son, Saint West’s, YouTube channel following the appearance of videos that were critical of Vice President Kamala Harris.
The channel operated under the handle @TheGoatSaint and was removed after the posts surfaced. The controversial videos reportedly included derogatory comments about Vice President Harris, with one featuring a cartoon character alongside a picture of Harris with the words, “I stepped in s**t.”
Another video allegedly contained more direct insults aimed at the Democratic candidate. This incident comes just six days before the upcoming election, raising questions about the influence and appropriateness of such content.
The removal of the YouTube channel highlights the importance of parental oversight in the digital age. Kardashian had previously established a contract with her son regarding the use of his YouTube channel. The contract, posted on Kardashian’s Instagram Stories on September 3, outlined specific rules that Saint West had to follow:
I, Saint West, agree to follow my mom’s rules in order to have a YouTube channel. I am not allowed to comment any personal family information.
The incident underscores the challenges parents face in monitoring their children’s online activities. Social media platforms provide a space for creativity and expression, but they also expose young users to potential risks and controversies.
The swift action taken by Kardashian reflects a growing awareness among parents about the need for strict guidelines and oversight.
Social media platforms like YouTube have policies in place to protect young users, but incidents like this highlight the necessity for vigilant parental involvement. The removal of Saint West’s channel serves as a reminder that even high-profile families are not immune to the pitfalls of the digital world.
The incident has sparked a range of reactions from the public. While some support Kardashian’s decision to remove the channel, others question the level of freedom and expression allowed for young users on social media.
The controversy also comes at a critical time, just days before the election. The political nature of the videos adds another layer to the discussion, raising questions about the influence of social media on public discourse and the role of celebrities in shaping political opinions.
