SAN FRANCISCO: Google has introduced a " safety mode" for YouTube watchers that filters
out smut and other objectionable material, the company announced.
Customers can opt in to the "safety mode", which also automatically hides comments on any
videos. If the user decides to view the comments, all objectionable words are censored by
Google's smut filter.
The web's top video-sharing site has long banned pornography, gratuitous violence and
animal abuse. But the new filter will target such images even if they occur within a legitimate
context such as a news report, the company said in its blog Thursday.
“An example of this type of content might be a newsworthy video that contains graphic
violence, such as a political protest or war coverage,” said product manager Jamie Davidson.
“While no filter is 100 percent perfect, 'safety mode' is another step in our ongoing desire to
give you greater control over the content you see on the site.”

3. WASHINGTON: You won't find terrorist training videos on YouTube anymore.
Google's popular video-sharing site now bans this footage that advertises terrorism or extremist causes.
Backers of the change hope it will blunt al-Qaida's strong media online campaign.
After pressure from Connecticut Senator Joseph Lieberman, the Internet search engine revised its
community guidelines for posting videos on YouTube.
In addition to the ban on terror training videos, the new YouTube guidelines include bans on: videos that
incite others to commit violent acts; videos on things like how to make bombs; and footage of sniper
attacks.
The Internet has become a powerful tool for terrorism recruitment. What was once conducted at secret
training camps in Afghanistan is now available to anyone, anywhere because of the Web. Chat rooms are
potent recruitment tools, but counter terrorism officials have found terrorist-sponsored videos are also
key parts of al-Qaida's propaganda machine.
"It's good news if there are less of these on the web," FBI spokesman Richard Kolko said. "But many of
these jihadist videos appear on different web sites around the world, and any time there is investigative
or intelligence value we actively pursue it."
There have been online terror-training videos ranging from how to slit a victim's throat and how to make
suicide vests to how to make explosives from homemade ingredients, said Bruce Hoffman, a counter
terrorism expert and professor at Georgetown University.
