What’s Happening on August 13th?
YouTube is introducing a new policy starting August 13, 2025, that seems to focus on:

1. AI-generated content labeling
- Creators will now have to label videos if they include realistic AI-generated content.
- This includes deepfakes, AI voices, or anything that could mislead viewers.
- If they don’t, YouTube might add the label themselves. or take down the video.

2. ID verification for creators
- Some people are saying YouTube is requiring ID verification for certain content creators, especially:
- Those using AI tools in their videos.
- Or those using realistic-looking avatars or voices generated by AI.

Why is this controversial?
- People are worried about privacy, especially younger creators or fans of games like Roblox who don’t want to give ID info.
- Some feel it’s unfair or scary to force creators to verify identity just because they use AI tools or have cartoon-style content.
- Others think this will limit creativity or make it harder for small creators to grow.

Why are there protests in the comments?
- Many Roblox creators and fans are young or use avatars, so they feel targeted by this change.
- They’re worried they might not be able to make content without showing ID.
- So, people are flooding comment sections, especially on official Roblox or YouTube-related videos, to protest or raise awareness.
- AI-Powered Age Estimation & Verification (Rollout Starts August 13, 2025)
- The Verge reports that starting August 13, YouTube will use AI to estimate whether users are under 18 based on behavior and account activity, then automatically apply protections like restricted content access, non-personalized ads, and wellbeing tools. Users flagged incorrectly can verify their age via government ID, a selfie, or a credit card.
- TechRadar explains this AI-driven age check, noting YouTube’s process uses signals like watch history and account age, and that it's currently being trialed in the U.S.
- Ars Technica raises concerns about privacy, especially around the verification appeals process, which may require submitting sensitive data—and highlights the lack of clarity around data retention.
- Windows Central emphasizes the AI’s role in distinguishing teens from adults to provide age-appropriate experiences.
- PC Gamer also covers the rollout, noting how YouTube uses viewing behavior to estimate age and enacts additional safeguards for minors while allowing verification for misclassified users.

-Is this confirmed?
YouTube has confirmed the AI labeling part, and some form of ID verification may be coming, but not everything is 100% clear yet. It might not affect all users mostly those using realistic AI content.

Me and my friend Franky, or "FrankleAnkles" created a song called Skibidi Slicers for a game known as "Project: Rusher". We feel that our song has been a very good addition to the game, and is a hard challenge (Go check out the game if you'd like!), but we feel like our efforts have been put in vain.

As a new update rolls out, there is a new feature known as the "Assist" feature. It adds characters to your gameplay that can add new gameplay effects you clear levels, whether it be easier (like healing with every note hit) or harder (only healing with perfect and ACE hits).

Me and Franky would like to be added as these assistants, me being the one providing the challenge and Franky being the one to provide helpful effects.

We are planning on making a Skibidi Slicers exclusive EP to celebrate if this reaches double it's intended amount.

We are family of 4, living In Japan.
わたしたちは日本に住む4人家族です。
Last year, 2024, our then-4-year-old son, Makoto, was subjected to prolonged psychological abuse at his daycare center for over six months.
昨年2024年、当時4歳だった私たちの息子マコトは、保育園で6か月以上にわたり心理的虐待を受けました。

He was repeatedly isolated from his peers, denied emotional support, and left alone for long periods.
彼は何度もお友達から隔離され、気持ちを聞いてもらえることもなく、長時間一人ぼっちにされていました。

Despite our repeated pleas based on Makoto’s own words asking for help, the daycare failed to notify or contact the city government.
まことが伝えてくれた「助けて」という言葉を受けて、私たちは何度も懸念を伝えましたが、保育園は行政に相談も報告することもありませんでした。

We have obtained security camera footage and recorded conversations with the daycare principal, chief teacher, and the teacher involved—providing direct evidence of the mistreatment.
私たちは、防犯カメラの映像と、園長・主任保育士・加害保育士との録音を保有しており、これらは虐待を裏付ける直接的な証拠です。

Still, the daycare denies any wrongdoing, has hired a lawyer, and now blames Makoto himself for the isolation—despite never having raised any concerns before.
それでも保育園は非を認めず、弁護士を雇い、今になってまこと本人の行動に問題があったと責任転嫁しています。以前は一切そのような話はありませんでした。

The daycare's actions appear to violate Japan’s obligations under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
この保育園の対応は、国連「子どもの権利条約」に基づく日本の義務に反している可能性があります。

Makoto’s lived experience is being ignored, and the system meant to protect him has utterly failed.
まことが実際に感じ、経験したことは無視され、彼を守るべき制度は完全に機能を失っています。

REASON NEVER JUSTIFIES ABUSE.
どんな理由があっても、虐待が正当化されることはありません。
ABUSE IS ABUSE.
虐待は虐待です。
CHILDREN’S HUMAN RIGHTS MATTER.
子どもの人権は、すべての社会が守るべき最優先の価値です。

If we do not raise our voices now, Makoto’s truth will be buried—and other children may continue to suffer similar silent abuse.
いま声を上げなければ、まことの真実は葬り去られ、同じように「見えない虐待」に苦しむ子どもたちがこれからも生まれてしまいます。

We are seeking accountability and systemic change, both in Japan and globally,
私たちは、日本国内だけでなく、世界全体に向けて、責任追及と制度改革を求めています。

So that, no child is ever left mentally and emotionally alone again.
子どもたちが、子どもたちの心が、もう二度と、一人ぼっちになってしまわないように。

Xaden Riorson is a pivotal character in this story—he isn’t just a love interest. He’s mysterious, intense, emotionally layered, brooding, powerful, and deeply protective. Fans have long imagined him with darker features, sharp intensity, and a magnetic presence that dominates any space. For many readers, the casting of Xaden holds immense emotional weight, as the character’s physicality and energy are central to their connection with the story.

While we respect the adaptation process and the choices made, there is significant discussion within the fandom about the current casting of Xaden Riorson. Many fans feel the actor cast does not align with the character as described in the books. This petition is driven by a passionate and respectful request for the adaptation team to reconsider this casting choice and be open to fan feedback regarding the portrayal of Xaden.
