Google adds a series of policies to protect children online
Child safety in cyberspace is being promoted by technology companies in recent times. Apple has just said it will deploy technology to scan users' photos and iCloud to detect content related to pedophilia.
Google also just announced its measures to provide a safer online experience for children.
First, Google changed its policy to allow users under the age of 18 or parents and guardians to request that their images be removed from image search results. While it cannot be completely removed from the internet, this will help reduce the visibility of the image.
Next, Google announced some of the changes it will be making to products specifically for children under 18 in the coming weeks and months. SafeSearch will be enabled by default for new or active accounts under 18 years of age. SafeSearch will remove pornographic results from Google Search.
Previously, this feature was only enabled by default for children under 13 and using the Family Link profile.
Educational institution (K-12) accounts using Workspace for Education will also have SafeSearch enabled by default. In addition, incognito mode and guest mode will be disabled. This technology is also used to restrict the adult search results displayed by Assistant on shared devices.
Videos uploaded to YouTube are set to private by default. Many features related to enhancing the experience such as automatically playing music, reminding to rest . will be highlighted on Google services.
There will be a new section on the Google Play Store for apps that are subject to the Family policy. It also describes the data the app collects in more detail so parents can make informed decisions.
Finally, Google will improve advertising practices so that adult ads, including targeted ads, won't be shown to teen users.
