In Australia, these are classified as illegal and restricted content. You can read more about illegal and restricted content on the eSafety Commissioner's website.
Parental controls exist in various places and it is important to ensure children are protected by following some basic guidelines;
Many devices, like your computer or phone, will have built-in parental controls. Others are available as third-party software or in certain apps and services, like streaming services, social media or search engines. If you’re paying for third-party security software, you can check the app that comes with it to see if parental controls are included.
