Safe search is a useful option in today's world. Mobile applications and computer browsers can completely exclude questionable content from searches. Everything that is marked 18+ and is only allowed for viewing by adults is hidden automatically. However, not everyone likes such concern for our psychological and in some cases mental he alth. It happens that it is very necessary to find exactly the material that is completely excluded from the search by security settings.
With care for children
This function, first of all, owes its appearance to large companies. Constant lawsuits for causing moral damage, accusations of inciting ethnic hatred, anti-Semitism, racism and even homophobia - all this is tired of large Internet service providers. Safe search is the simplest solution, thanks to which all such problems for companies disappeared by themselves.
First of all, this mode protects children from viewing prohibited content. This includes not only explicit material, but also scenes of violence andin some cases even with political propaganda. Such materials are not just hidden, they are completely removed from the search. As long as SafeSearch Mode is active, there is nothing to prevent children from receiving only reliable information.
There are many variations of this function. Safe search is integrated into the programs themselves. From social networks to major browsers. It is different everywhere and has different thresholds of severity. Some apps don't even skip weapon scenes, while others hide only explicit material. At the same time, they do not hide material containing scenes of violence at all.
With care for adults
Creating algorithms that can't be turned off is a very bad idea. Safe Search is mainly designed to protect children from questionable information. At the same time, it acts as an unpleasant hindrance for adults. The program is not able to understand the age of a person for his search query. However, he gladly demonstrates the mechanism of his deactivation at the very first request “How to disable safe search?” It is not always necessary to completely disable such protection. Some programs allow you to change the degree of filtration. In other words, the user can determine for himself what material to watch. The famous Google search engine and browsers from the same company allow you to determine the degree of filtering. The user can choose strict filtering or moderate. It is important to understand that a considerable amount of material is still filtered anddisappears.
For those who are completely dissatisfied with filtering, it can be completely removed. In this case, the entire volume of search results for the user's request will be displayed.
Safe search - the difference is in the details
Every major social network and every self-respecting browser has a material filtering function. Moreover, exactly the same option exists in mobile versions of popular applications. Even in those that are created by third-party developers. However, it always looks and works differently. How to remove safe search completely? There is simply no single answer to this question. It all depends on where exactly you want to deactivate content filtering. In the Russian social network VKontakte, just go to the search settings and uncheck the corresponding box. In the Google search engine and browsers from this company, you can also go to the settings and select one of three options:
- moderate filtration;
- strict filtering;
- turn off filtering completely.
Advanced Applications
Increasingly, we hear about the intention of companies to completely remove the ability to disable safesearch. Especially such positions are strengthened in Russian companies. The computer version of the VKontakte social network no longer has the ability to turn off the filter. You can get around this, but you will have to rewrite some of the code yourself. Not everyone is ready for this.
Mobile devices come to the rescue. Any filters and censorship are disabled onAndroid smartphones. In this case, no problems arise. In the event that official applications prohibit removing filters, you can download unofficial extended ones.
On any other mobile operating systems, you can do the same, including removing and safe search. The iPhone, on the other hand, works on a different system and causes more difficulties. The user will have to spend a little more time searching, but the algorithm is the same here. If there is no way to turn off censorship in the official app, you can always download the unofficial one with advanced features.
