Kubo: Child-Safe Video Platform
A demonstration application showcasing the Web of Trust protocol with a focus on child safety and content curation.
What is Kubo?
Kubo is a minimal, child-safe video consumption platform built to demonstrate the Web of Trust protocol in a real-world application. Unlike traditional video platforms, Kubo uses community attestations and trust levels to curate content, ensuring that children only access age-appropriate videos.
The platform serves as both a practical tool for families and a reference implementation for developers looking to build on the Web of Trust protocol.
How Kubo Showcases the Protocol
Trust-Based Filtering
Content creators must have sufficient trust attestations before their videos appear in children's feeds. This creates a vetted, community-approved content library.
Decentralized Storage
Videos are distributed across multiple relays, preventing censorship and ensuring availability. No single entity controls the content library.
Parent Controls
Parents can adjust trust thresholds, whitelist specific creators, and review all content their children access—all without corporate intermediaries.
Open Source
Every line of Kubo's code is public and auditable. Developers can learn from the implementation or fork it for their own use cases.
