At Google Australia we're serious about providing children with a safe online environment in which to learn, play, and explore. To help, we've created some powerful tools and policies. But we need your help to be truly successful. Here's what you can do:
Available to any user of Google.com.au, SafeSearch screens for sites that contain adult material and removes them from search results. You can adjust your settings to moderate or strict. We do our best to keep SafeSearch as up-to-date and comprehensive as possible, but inappropriate sites will sometimes slip through the cracks. If you have SafeSearch activated and still find websites containing offensive content in your results, please contact us and we'll investigate it.
We're working closely with our YouTube community to remove videos that violate our strict guidelines – including real violence, bullying, pornography and hate speech – and the people who post them from the site. If you come across questionable material on YouTube, flag it. We'll investigate. If it violates YouTube's Terms of Use, it will be removed and the account of the person who posted it will either be suspended or terminated.
Of course, talking to your kids and spending time with them as they're searching the web are the most effective ways to keep them safe online. We support government and school campaigns that educate parents on how to make their kids Internet experiences safer. Ask your local officials or school administrators how you can participate.
