Over the internet, you can find the contents for each age group. Many games, educational videos, etc., are available for younger users.
Not only good contents are available on the internet, but so many harmful items are unsuitable for younger people.
Google is the most popular search engine where users can search for anything. In search results, you may find some useful and a lot of notorious content. Thus, for our children’s security, Google has provided an option to filter the contents in the search result, known as SafeSearch.
The SafeSearch function ensures that explicit and unsafe results are filtered out of searches by default. This is very useful to ensure that younger users can only access appropriate content.
What is SafeSearch?
SafeSearch is a feature of Google’s search engine that automatically filters unsafe, offensive, and inappropriate results (images, videos, websites, etc.) from appearing in search results. This ensures kids aren’t exposed to explicit or inappropriate content on Google.
To make the internet a safer place for kids, parents or teachers can configure Google SafeSearch. By enabling SafeSearch, you can prevent your children from being exposed to explicit content such as pornography, gore, violence, and other adult-only topics in the Google search results. This way, you can give kids internet independence within controlled, prescribed limits.
