Restricted youtube content

My youtube restrictions are set to moderate on the meraki firewall and some content like congressional hearings are being blocked as restricted. Some live stream videos like congressional hearings emdedded within a website are also being blocked. I am not sure how to ease these restrictions without opening up youtube completely.

 

Can someone help?

Blocking Youtube is pointless in my opinion, there is so much content already on the platform and so much extra being uploaded constantly, its almost impossible for content filtering platforms to properly filter this content. You can have videos with innocent titles and horrible content and vice versa.

 

I say either allow all or block it all, you won't get a reliable best of both worlds.

A good example here, parents thought their children were watching their favourite TV shows however little did they know they were knockoffs or people were embedding their own nasty content in the middle of the shows.

What video falls into what category is controlled by You Tube.  You'll need to ask You Tube to change the classification ... good luck on that one.
