The author "Strong sanctions are needed against those who have been convicted of sex crimes to broadcast to an unspecified number of subscribers on their channels as YouTubers.

The author said, `The National Assembly strongly petitions YouTube and the basic qualifications of YouTubers engaged in it, especially to impose sanctions on channels operated by those who are seemingly unfit as public media workers, such as sex crimes, hit-and-runs, unlicensed driving, and assault.'
