How Orkut Safety Filter Works!

Orkut is known as a social networking site to make new friends and stay connected with old pals. But with the increasing number of it’s users, you will find several inappropriate contents on Orkut. These inappropriate contents are, but not limited to adult photos, hate or abusive words, adult communities, offensive comments etc. These inappropriate contents are not suitable for minors who love to use Orkut and hence Orkut started Orkut safety filter. Orkut safety filter hides all inappropriate and offensive contents from your profile, you just see what are suitable for general viewing. Now you won’t get ashamed of opening Orkut in office or home.

Orkut marks few communities and profiles inappropriate. These profiles either contain some adult photos, hate speech or abusive words or something offensive like that. Since these are not suitable for all users, Orkut shows a inappropriate content warning before you access those profiles or communities. This warning looks like the below screenshot.
