YouTube is clearly aware of this responsibility because of the fact that the video sharing and streaming platform has announced its new project called Project Witness. This project is basically going to use VR technology in order to shed some light on social issues, with the plight of children that are currently incarcerated being one that the platform has chosen to highlight which is commendable because this is certainly a serious issue that needs to be dealt with.
Children that end up going to jail very rarely are able to overcome the trauma that this causes them. Oftentimes the reason behind why they went to jail has to do with the conditions in which they were raised, conditions that often end up making it difficult for them to ever return to a normal life and instead creating a vicious cycle wherein they are a lot more likely to reoffend and are thus essentially sentenced to a life behind bars. Seeing their suffering as children in adult prisons through VR technology can help people to empathize with these kids and raise a lot of awareness about this issue.
