Keywords That are Oftenly Searched by Students on Daily Uses That Leads to Information That Is Potentially Banned by SafeSearch

This study, conducted by the researchers, presents a comprehensive analysis of keywords searched by internet users using the search bar. Utilizing qualitative methods and probability sampling, the research reveals that many internet users are under-aged and are exposed to inappropriate keywords leading to content that is not suitable for their age. Additionally, the study provides valuable data on age-based keyword preferences, offering insights into users' search behavior. Addressing the concerning issue, the researchers propose tightening the safe search program and blocking all websites that lead to such unsuitable content. The researchers express deep concern that underage exposure to inappropriate content could have detrimental effects on their future behavior, potentially leading to tragic consequences. Despite the researchers' expectation that search engines would already implement effective measures, the study findings indicate that most ads or redirect links associated with submitted keywords are not yet blocked by search engines. This highlights the urgency of enhancing safe-searching measures to ensure a safer online environment for underage internet users.
