Elsagate意思

"Elsagate" is a term that refers to a controversy involving the inappropriate use of Elsa, the character from the Disney movie "Frozen," and other popular children's characters in YouTube videos and thumbnails. These videos often contained disturbing or adult content disguised as children's content. The term is a combination of "Elsa" from "Frozen" and "gate," which is used to denote a scandal or controversy.

The Elsagate controversy came to light in 2017 when parents and child safety advocates raised concerns about these videos, which were often recommended on YouTube and YouTube Kids. The content ranged from bizarre and nonsensical to violent and sexual, and they were often targeted at young children.

YouTube responded to the controversy by updating its policies and algorithms to better detect and remove inappropriate content, as well as to prevent the recommendation of such videos. However, the incident brought to light the challenges of content moderation on large platforms and the need for better protections for young viewers.
