This page aggregates measured, corroborated evidence: donors' iPhones recorded apps contacting this domain, every claim below was reported by separate accepted donations and published under a human verdict (later rows for an approved app inherit its verdict). A contact is a measurement, not an accusation — it does not show what data was sent.

What our research panel found AI-drafted · human-reviewed
We ask several independent AI models the same question and publish their answers separately — cross-vendor agreement is evidence against fabrication, and disagreement is worth seeing. 2 of 3 models answered, overall confidence high — no answer from anthropic (HTTP 500). A human reviewed this domain's claims before anything here published.
OpenAI — first-party
www.youtube.com is the app's own YouTube service domain. The declared label covers extensive collection categories, so this contact alone does not imply an undeclared data flow.
Google Gemini — first-party
www.youtube.com is the primary first-party domain for the YouTube app. Communication with this domain is expected core functionality and aligns with the app's declared data collection practices.
