Popular video sharing site YouTube has introduced a new parental control like feature to its service. Dubbed as Safe Mode, this new feature is an opt-in setting that aids users to screen obscene content. All the obscene, graphically violent, or suggestive videos that don't meet Community Guidelines can be filtered out. Again, Google makes a point to note that Safe Mode isn't a fool proof measure - means you can't have 100 percent guarantee that the kids or any other family member won't stumble over objectionable content.
YouTube now gets the Safe Mode which is also available while searching Google Images. It filters out the obscene content once the user logs in using YouTube or Google account and turns the Safe Mode to On. The new Safe Mode can act as Parental Control remote at home and will turn YouTube to Safe-For-Work mode instead of getting one embarrassed.
The Safe Mode is located at the bottom of the page and is being rolled out to users now.
