YouTube adds mode to filter out more NSFW content

As a rule of thumb, I’d avoid going on YouTube at work whenever possible, but the reality is that millions of people across the globe log-on to the video sharing site every day. If you’re looking to avoid those Not Safe For Work (NSFW) videos or just want to decrease the likelihood that you or your children will see dirty videos while browsing YouTube, there’s a new link that will filter out “objectionable” content.

YouTube’s new “Safety Mode” will block out returns for phrases like “naked” or “sex.” The filter is not fool-proof, but it decreases the likelihood of negative content being available. Yes, pornography is already banned from YouTube and taken down when reported, but there are a number of users who push the boundaries.

In order to turn on Safety Mode, go to any YouTube video page. Browse to the bottom of the page and click “Safety Mode is Off” (you may not be able to see it just yet) to change the settings.
