Google

Google, one of the samrats of the technology world, has said it will come into force with a new policy for users under the age of 18. The policies will come into force in the next few weeks, it said. 

The corona disaster has increased the use of digital gadgets among most people in the world. Children, young people, and adults are doing their work with the help of gadgets, irrespective of age. 

Students are increasingly using these gadgets, especially after corona, for educational purposes. It has caused concern to children and child welfare activists and parents that there is as much disadvantage as there is in it. 

In this regard, some countries around the world are also planning to introduce some regulations on the use of these gadgets by children. Google will voluntarily come into force with a new policy for users under the age of 18. 

"We are committed to creating products that are unique in design, secure usage, privacy and users control. People under the age of 13 cannot create a fixed account on Google. However, now we are going to come up with some policies for users below the age of 18 years.

We are going to come up with this policy especially considering the use of children and teenagers. This allows anyone under the age of 18 to access the request option to remove their pictures from a search of Google Search Result. Not only them but also their parents can approach for this. We think that young children can control their image. However, it will not have been completely removed from the website," Google said in a blackspot. 

What are Google's new activities for users under the age of 18?

  • To bring the 'SAFE SERACH' setting to those below 18 years of age. It currently exists for users under the age of 13.
  • Some changes in YouTube, Google Search, and Google Assistant applications. 
  • In addition, the request facility to remove your pictures from google search requests.
