BANGALORE,INDIA: Orkut, popular social networking site fro Google, introduced on Wednesday a new feature on Orkut, the 'Safety Filter'.

The safety filter would automatically screen and mark unsafe, mature content that could be potentially upsetting but may not violate the policies.

The safety filter will be turned 'ON' by default for all users in India, and photos or text with mature content will be put behind a warning page, said a press release.

The feature is in addition to the site's existing approach to porn, spam and impersonation- all of which are clear violations of our policies and will be removed as soon as Orkut users bring these to our notice, it added.

The safety filter helps protect users from the content on Orkut that sometimes causes people to disagree: that is, material that some people may find acceptable but others may find offensive.

"We are using technology to filter as much content as possible however, since no filter is 100 percent accurate we will continue to trust our users to report abuse, and will take prompt action when it violates our terms and conditions. We hope this new update will make Orkut an even more fun and safe place for all of you," Google said.
