The German government on Thursday launched a secure Internet search engine to allow children to surf the web without any risk of them finding violent or sexual content.
The FragFinn site offers a mix of games, information and links to approved, children-friendly websites and is being promoted as a first in Europe. The site was offering a guide to the Bundestag lower house of parliament as it went into operation. Chancellor Angela Merkel said the site “doesn’t just fine-comb the Internet”, it would allow children to enter the online world in complete safety.
The government is financing the site to the tune of €1,5-million (about R15-million) and has developed the project in conjunction with big names from the Internet world such as AOL, Microsoft, Google, Lycos, Vodafone and Deutsche Telekom. IOL technology.co.za
