With the growing rage of children getting addicted and hooked to net for fun these days, setting agitated and complaining parents on the access ofinappropriate contents access, you tube has evolved the security standards for children below 18, to set the YouTube's new parental controls and safe search features, leaving the parents tension free.
Google has taken an initiative in collaboration with YouTube, in discovering a new parental control feature in its video sharing site, YouTube to help filter the unwanted sexual content from the children. The most popular video sharing site came under the parental scanning and anger, as the site provided open access to inappropriatecontent, not suggested for children.
Thus Google stood up to provide moral support to the concerned parents, enabling the feature from today onwards which supports the feature to lock the inappropriate material and videos from viewing. So from now onwards, if the children try to be naughty and type in the word sex on YouTube site, the same shall not be supported. To which earlier, the same hit on the word sex, throngs out innumerable provocative and violent videos.
The president of Internet safety advocacy group iKeepSafe.org, was amongst the many parents who shared similar concern and did make a complaint to YouTube two years back, forcing the company to do make it a clean and learning experience on the site for children.
However, to filter the appropriate content amongst the million of videos is not a easy nut to crack as with 20 hours of video uploading done every minute to YouTube.
The Safety Mode is the feature that prevents children from browsing sexual or inappropriatecontent. Further, it has 3 features which limits the content on videos containing nudity, pornography, narcotics, graphic violence, and news events containing graphic violence; secondly it locks Safety Mode for all users, even if the user has logged out, so that the kids can’t turn off Safety mode.
So from now onwards for every single browsing you do, you would have to turn the safety mode. Also it is account-specific, in case you have different accounts on a system, you have to turn on Safety Mode for all the accounts you want to filter.
However this feature is not supported in private browsing mode.
