YouTube has been criticised by MPs, who say it must do more to vet its content.
In a review of net safety, the Culture, Media and Sport select committee said a new industry body should be set up to protect children from harmful content.
It also said it should be "standard practice" for sites hosting user-generated content to review material proactively.
YouTube's owners said the site had strict rules and a system that allowed users to report inappropriate content.
The committee also wants a rethink on how best to classify video games - but there is disagreement over who should run the new ratings system.
MPs say the same body which gives age ratings to films - the British Board of Film Classification - should be in charge, but the games industry supports its own voluntary code.
