Google to Protect Users From Explicit Imagery With Default Blurring

Google has announced that it will enable a SafeSearch blurring setting by default on all users’ search results in order to protect them from inadvertently encountering explicit imagery. This new feature comes as part of Google’s celebration of Safer Internet Day. 

The SafeSearch blurring setting, which is already available to users, will be enabled by default, meaning that users don’t have to manually activate it in order to use it. This will help to protect users from accidentally seeing explicit images or videos in their search results. The filter is designed to work with images, videos, and related search results, and Google is hoping that it will help to make the internet a safer place for everyone. 

Google has also taken steps to make sure that the filter is effective. It has worked with numerous partners and organizations to develop algorithms that can accurately identify explicit content so that users can be sure that they are not seeing any inappropriate material while searching. 

Google is also encouraging other companies to join in the effort to make the internet safer. It has created an open platform that allows companies to create their own filters and algorithms to identify explicit content, meaning that more companies can get involved in protecting their users from explicit content. 

Google’s new SafeSearch blurring setting will be enabled by default for all users in the coming months, and it is hoped that this will help to make the internet a safer place. Google is also encouraging other companies to join in the effort and has created an open platform to help them do this.
