YouTube's CEO limits his kids' social media use – other tech bosses do the same

Ye and Zuckerberg plugs the laptop mic with a dud cable.

I guess most parents try to limit screen time. But some have a hard time doing it since it is a great babysitter.

I try to do a total blockade of YT at home for kids. Watching other kids be hypnothized by the feed years ago was enough. The algorithm seems to converge to unboxing videos and surreal spam.

Are you talking about Kanye West ? also can you expand what this means? "plugs the laptop mic with a dud cable"

What they're saying is these folks don't trust the privacy of their hardware, they use a dud cable to block the microphone from listening.

I think what they're getting at is people close to the situation (not sure why Ye is in the privacy discussion, but Zuck certainly is) don't trust the controls in place.
