Whatever you think of doing, you can be guided by the internet and achieve it.
The success rate of some things come from the internet,and as you are reading this, millions of people are on the internet searching for different content.
There is content suitable for everyone on the internet including kids.
Schools are using computers nowadays,and they are connected to the internet.
This means the children are exposed to everything available on the internet through search engines.
They can search for anything they want,and since they are kids, they might wander off and stumble on some adult content on the search results.
This is one of the biggest reasons why parents, teachers,and guardians filter adult content.
These settings enable the kids to do a safe search on the internet without the fear of adult content.
If you have activated safe search in your search engines, we are going to look at how you can deactivate it on different search engines.

• Open AOL.com and search for something in the Search box
• On the Search results page, click on Safe Search displayed right below the Search Box.
• In Safe Search section, choose the option you would prefer. Please refer to the above image for more clarity.
In this case, if Safe Search had been enabled, the current setting is strict which filters adult images and videos from your search results. The option doesn’t display any results if you search for adult query terms.
• Select the “Off” option to disable safe search. This option displays adult content on your search results if you search for a keyword containing adult terms
• Click ok to save
