Google adds option to blur explicit images

Google’s search engine will have an option to blur explicit images when they appear in search results. Until now, there were only the choices to allow or disallow explicit images in search results.

From now on, blurring will happen automatically, unless users have indicated in advance that they do not want to enable SafeSearch and they are over the age of eighteen. reports Google. This makes blurring explicit images the new standard in search.

Users can therefore turn off blurring if desired and still encounter explicit images of violence or sex, for example, in search results. To do this, they must be logged in and be over eighteen. The option becomes part of SafeSearch, which has been around for some time. The feature should be available sometime in the coming months.
