I have been working on couple tools that will help to filter content on youtube. If you are not an education facility you don't have the ability to manage youtube content or force some policy on your users. The basic issue is that you don't want any video to be seen by your users. We can start categorizing and build a DB that will contain a black and whitelilst but I have written a sketch for a tool that will help to build a squid external_acl helper to acl youtube videos access. The tool is at: https://gist.github.com/elico/cbda8a6918cb71918616d39b560c90d8 It's BSD licensed and free for all. There is a cgi script in ruby that can be patched to response with a pretty json output and help external tools to use it as an API. There is also an example in GoLang which receives a videoid argument and returns the channel or the user which it belongs to. Let say you are a business and you want to allow access to youtube videos which was published by mikrotik or another company or a specific tutorial maker but not news or other distracting things you can build an external_acl helper based on this. If someone is interested that will complete this tool to work with a specific DB or a specific text file that will be the whitelist and all the others are banned, just contact me and with hope that I will schedule it to the next squid release. I am now working on the article for the release of squid 3.5.26 and 4.0.20 RPM's (The RPM's are out..)
