It's not cool to say if you are vaccinated and besides, I'm not even vaccinated! 
 
Nobody can identify me by my vaccination status; that's why I don't see a problem with posting my vaccination status.
 

 
But, I can always edit it later if I am not comfortable, the only person who could find it again would be dusty; and if you don't trust him then you defiantly shouldn't have signed up for HH!
 
Also, I don't mean to sound rude!

In General (not specifically to this), even if you edit things people can still find it. People can remember it. People can save it (screenshot, copy paste), websites can be hacked. What I’m saying is, just because there’s a delete button or an edit button doesn’t mean that info will never again see the light of day. Like, on instagram or twitter, don’t post something you would want, say, a job interviewer seeing.

If you are wondering, I do a full internet security course every year. My email account is only used for HH, nothing else, even my name isn't real on my email. There is absolutely nothing to know about me on my email (If you are wondering my YT channel is not the same as my HH account). I purposely changed the name to Cupcake Hammy so I could be identified as the user of my YT account. There is nothing to know about me on my YT channel, I haven't even uploaded anything, I have occasionally commented on a Petubers video, that's all. Also, I have made sure to make all passwords different on every account I make.
*Also like to add that I was going to make an introductory post for my channel anyway.
 
My point is; it isn't personal information where I am, it may be different where you are, but I see no reason not to share my vaccination status, however, I respect your opinion.

It's not my opinion. From the UK.

Are there categories of personal data?

Some of the personal data you process can be more sensitive in nature and therefore requires a higher level of protection. The UK GDPR refers to the processing of these data as ‘special categories of personal data’. This means personal data about an individual’s:

race;
ethnic origin;
political opinions;
religious or philosophical beliefs;
trade union membership;
genetic data;
biometric data (where this is used for identification purposes);
health data;
sex life; or
sexual orientation.

Personal data can include information relating to criminal convictions and offences. This also requires a higher level of protection.

This would fall under health data.

I mean, yeah, I'm okay with saying I'm not vaccinated. But I agree with Kikya that children, 10 year olds and 12 year olds, shouldn't be posting a ton of personal information on a public forum. I don't think it's a big deal, but I do believe that it would probably be best for young children to at least think about it first. It's really not a big deal whether you do or don't reveal that, your choice, and no one is really going to care. It is a good habit, though, to think about what you're posting online before posting it. This is just a way to...say, practice that habit?

Hey, here is someone who isn't American lol

 

I'm really curious to know how many people will actually watch this 2 minute video lol

I watched the video, and while I'm not going to comment on the message he's sending (mostly because my brain is dead and I only remember like a third of his points xD), I just want to make a little point here. Not trying to be rude, so please don't take it that way, but maybe you should put a little warning before the video, just because there is swearing. This is kind of a kid's forum, after all

Haha, no the reason why I’m not vaccinated is because of the age approval in the UK is very slow, you can’t assume my age from it.

No, no, I wasn't assuming your age. That was a general statement directed towards children of that particular age group

Ok everyone, I am very sorry for posting this Topic. I meant no harm. I don't think Dusty saw my PM, but yeah. I don't want anyone to be hurt. Sorry!

You don't have to be sorry, but it's a tough topic and we all have our own opinions on it. My point is only please be careful what you share online. You never know what might come back to bite you in the butt.

Oh okay, I thought you meant in the age group that they are doing in th US is the same as here; and therefore I would be [insert age here].
