Words are innocent. But intentions are not. There are always websites, people, and applications with inappropriate content for children. Topics on the internet are not as healthy as they seem to be. There is always something beneath the vivid ads that could potentially harm children's health. Let's see how to prevent harmful content from appearing in children's search results.

Content filtration is a great way to supervise children and provide internet safety. Safes is an application that offers Safe Search; an amazing tool that enables parents to audit search content. It filters out specific keywords and protects children from harmful content. Using a huge database of every possible harmful keyword, Safe Search is a powerful feature assisting families in fulfilling a healthy cyberlife.

How Safe Search Works

Take the keyword "gun," for example. You choose to block the content containing "gun" (either the word or a category containing it). If your kid tries to search for it, Safe Search blocks the result. Also, you can block certain content, such as violence, race, drugs, and illegal material. So, if the search results contain any of the blocked items, the process stops automatically. Parents will also be notified about the search attempts.

Categories include every potentially harmful content. And even if you cannot find the exact topics you're looking for, you can always add them manually and filter them out.
