Summary:
The YouTube Kids app is meant to filter out unsuitable content, but we found that it suggested that children watch conspiracy theory videos.
The app suggested several videos from prominent conspiracy theorist David Icke in which he claimed that the world is ruled by reptile-human hybrids.
Searches for "moon landing" returned results including three videos which claim the moon landing was a hoax.
YouTube removed at least 25 videos from its Kids app after we contacted the company and blocked Icke's channel on the app.
