How we choose content
Before a child ever sees it, every item passes five stops.
Five stops
- SourceOpenly licensed or public-domain sources, and volunteer creators.
- Rights recordSource link, license and credit are recorded. No proof, no publishing.
Age floorEvery video has a lowest age (2+, 3+, 5+). Younger children never see it.- Editor reviewAn editor checks it against a checklist and scores it. Quality and age suitability are judged separately. No approval, no publishing.
- After publishingContent can be suspended. When its rights run out, it comes down by itself.

What we turn down

- Flashing, over-fast editing
- Low quality below 720p

“Free on the internet” is not a license. Without proof, we do not publish.
