Therefore, different aspects must be taken into account when protecting both ourselves and ours when exposing ourselves to the Internet. Google today announced new measures to protect young people from the Internet.
Delete photos of your child from Google Images
It is possible that there is in Google photos of our children that we don’t want them to be there. That is why Google will enable soon a function that may be used by both minors and their relatives to ask for such images to be removed from Google Images. It’s very important for parents to have parental control tools to help their children.
This is not synonymous with deleting the image from the web, but rather just remove it from search that is done, but according to Google this will make young people better control their images on the net.
The company is also implementing new measures in some of its applications. On YouTube, for example, they will appear enabled Digital Wellbeing sections for all those minors. Location history will also be disabled for all of them, to improve security.
What more measures is Google going to implement?
Another measure will be increase existing search filters in minors under 13 to 18, to prevent certain content from appearing that these young people should not see and that could be found when doing a search. A very similar safe search system will also be implemented in the Google Assistant.
Also added a new tool that will allow the father and mother of the child know if an application that you want to download your child is suitable for him.
In schools and institutes in which the students use the Internet, the computers will also have the safe search enabled, preventing even being able to activate the guest mode incognito.
As well advertising will be changed to prevent young people from seeing certain explicit content or that could be sensitive. Parents may set a power-on duration time from the screens or set reminders on YouTube to take a break or go to sleep.
With all these new measures and policies, Google hopes to protect to all those minors who are exposed to the Internet and who may not know all the dangers that it can have. Furthermore, lparents can also help to help your children use devices or search the web.
